This document specifies the characteristics of the UPnP networked service named 
WANIPv6FirewallControl, version 1. This service definition is compliant with UPnP Service 
Architecture 1.0 [1]. 
This service supports the management IPv6 firewall pinholes in Internet gateway devices 
independent of the WAN access type (PPP, DHCP, …). It also supports access control to 
restrict operations to authorized control points and users. It enables UPnP control points to: 
• create and delete pinholes of limited duration that allow external communication from the WAN side of the gateway to reach devices on the LAN side 
• determine operational status of a pinhole 
This service does not support: 
• retrieving detailed information about pinholes (such as associated external port or 
remaining lease duration) 
• outbound packet filtering 
• modification of security policies of a gateway device
