UPnP
UPnP in eMule's context is a way to open/forward ports on UPnP compatible routers (or modems with integrated routers). This gives an high-id without having to open ports manually.
This feature is very useful in combination with Randomize Ports & ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) support.
It was first seen in emulEspaña by MoNKi and is available nowadays in a lot of Morph based mods.
