upnpc has a -m option to allow sending SSDP multicast packets.
But, the situation I met is that I have more than two WAN interfaces having same IP address. So, when I run unpnc, the interface it works on is determined by iptables.

I would suggest adding another option to allow specify network interface.
E.g.

upnpc -l -i wlan0
upnpc -i wlan0 -a 192.168.0.2 22 22 TCP


Thank you!

That would be nice indeed, but the problem is the code is using setsockopt(..., IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_IF, ...) which is taking an IP address as argument.

There are some documents saying that multicast interface can be specified by interface index. setsockopt can accpet an instance of ip_mreqn instead of ip address.

Please see the following links for more information about ip_mreqn and setsockopt(..., IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_IF, ...) .

Hopefully this information helps.
Thank you.

Thanks, I tested and it works on Linux but "struct ip_mreqn" is not defined on all systems.
For example it is not available on OpenBSD.
