SSDP - Simple Service Discovery Protocol

What is SSDP?

SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocol) is a network protocol used to discover devices and services on a local network without manual configuration. It is part of the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) suite and operates over UDP.

Why is SSDP useful?

  • Automatically detects smart TVs, printers, routers, and media servers

  • Simplifies setup by removing the need for manual IP configuration

  • Enables plug-and-play features in home and office networks

How it works

  • Device joins network – Connects to local network (e.g., Smart TV)

  • Sends SSDP advertisement – Broadcasts “I’m here” with available services

  • Control point (client) listens – Phones, PCs, or apps listen for these messages

  • Client sends M-SEARCH request – A device can actively search for services

  • Device responds – Matching devices reply with service details (IP, port, URL)

  • Client connects – Uses the info to interact (e.g., stream content)

Where is SSDP used?

  • Smart home environments

  • Media streaming setups

  • Networked printers

  • Home routers and gateways

Which OSI layer does this protocol belong to?

  • Application Layer (Layer 7)

  • SSDP is used for device/service discovery, a high-level application function

  • It operates over UDP but enables applications to discover peers/services

  • Typically uses UDP port 1900 and IP multicast

What are common devices using SSDP?

  • Smart TVs and media players

  • IoT devices (e.g., smart plugs, speakers)

  • Network printers

  • Home routers with UPnP enabled

What are alternatives to SSDP?

  • mDNS/Bonjour – Used by Apple and Zeroconf environments

  • WS-Discovery – Used by Microsoft systems

  • Zeroconf/Avahi – For Linux and cross-platform auto-discovery

What is USN in SSDP?

  • USN (Unique Service Name) is a string that uniquely identifies a device or service

  • Format: uuid:<device-uuid>::urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:<service-name>

What can we learn from SSDP messages?

  • Device type (e.g., MediaServer, rootdevice)

  • Software/firmware info via SERVER field

  • Device IP address via LOCATION header

  • Join/leave status via NTS

  • Unique identity via USN, UUID

Does SSDP support IPv4 or IPv6?

  • SSDP supports both IPv4 and IPv6

  • IPv4 uses multicast to 239.255.255.250:1900

  • IPv6 uses FF02::C (but not all devices support IPv6 discovery)

Is SSDP suitable for real-time applications?

No, SSDP is designed only for device and service discovery. It is not intended for real-time communication, such as video, voice, or large data transfers.
