In my understanding an uPnP server needs to be on the same IP subnet as
the client requesting data from it, which makes it very badly suited for
anything but intra-building use (I find that very limiting as I like to
put fileservers outside my home).
If someone can provide information to the contrary, I'd very much
appreciate it.
If this indeed is true, uPnP file server protocol should be avoided as it
limits more extensive content sharing between nodes that are
geographically separated.
