scope:

This device template is compliant with the UPnP Device Architecture, Version 1.0. WANConnectionDevice is a REQUIRED virtual device defined under urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:WANDevice An instance of WANDevice is specified under the root device urn:schemas-upnp-org: device: Internet Gateway Device WANConnectionDevice is a container for a link and connection services specific to a link on a WAN interface. Most types of WAN interfaces can be modeled by a single instance of WANConnectionDevice. However, in the case of DSL, each VC can have unique link attributes and can be provisioned for connection services that are different from other VCs. In this case, each VC will be modeled by an instance of WANConnectionDevice. Also, in the case of a POTS modem based Internet Gateway Device (IGD), each separate ISP instance can be modeled as an instance of WANConnectionDevice. The Theory of Operation section describes the services contained in WANConnectionDevice in more detail.
