SSDP responder for Linux, InternetGatewayDevice icon in Windows :)

Simple Service Discovery Protocol daemon (SSDP) for networked Linux devices. Useful for small and embedded systems that want to announce themselves to systems running Windows.

ssdpd is a stand-alone UNIX daemon with no external dependencies but the standard C library. It has a built-in web server for serving the UPnP XML description which Windows use to present the icon, by default an InternetGatewayDevice is announced.

Usage

Usage: ssdpd [-dhv] [-i SEC] [IFACE [IFACE ...]]

Example

The following example assumes the system eth0 interface is connected to an ISP and eth1 to the LAN. Every 300 sec the list of addresses for eth1 are updated, if a new address is added a NOTIFY * message is sent, otherwise NOTIFY * messages are sent every 30 seconds.

ssdpd -i 30 -r 300 eth1

Origin

Cloned from mrdisc and whacked at with a bat until it replies to SSDP "MSEARCH *" messages used by Windows.
