SSDP

Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) is a network-based protocol that enables devices to advertise and discover network services. It allows devices to search for and communicate with other devices connected to the same network. The protocol uses multicast of UDP/HTTP for announcements of services.From: The Nano Age of Digital Immunity Infrastructure Fundamentals and Applications [2018], Countermeasures against large-scale reflection DDoS attacks using exploit IoT devices [2021], The Handbook of Mobile Middleware [2019]
