Hi there,

I have noticed in the code and in the given sample that you need
to initiate a discovery process (using upnpDiscover) in order to fill
the devlist variable then send a request to the IGD for port
mapping. As the discovery is a lengthy process, do u think it would be
possible to send a port mapping request to the IGD without discovering
the upnp IGD first? This would be very much useful for bittorrent p2p
applications where knowing the external listen port (if upnp mapping
succeed ) before contacting the tracker is vital.

Thank you for your time.

The discovery process is mandatory in order to get the url where request are to be sent to the UPnP IGD. You would have to know this data in advance in order to bypass the discovery process.

The very latest version miniupnpc can work together with minissdpd in order to have immediate "discovery".

of course you can skip the discovery process if you already know the Root description URL of the device to use.
With the miniUPnPc library, just use the UPNP_GetIGDFromUrl() function.
Code:

int
UPNP_GetIGDFromUrl(const char * rootdescurl,
                   struct UPNPUrls * urls,
                   struct IGDdatas * data,
                   char * lanaddr, int lanaddrlen);

use the -u argument of upnpc command line utility
