The proposed protocol, termed STDP (Service Trader Discovery Protocol), is a hy- brid combination of Zeroconf and SIP (Session Initial Protocol). The Zeroconf is adopted for the discovery and/or pub- lication of local services; whereas, the SIP is used for the delivery of local services to the remote nodes. In addition, both the SIP-ALG (Application Layer Gateway) and UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)-IGD (Internet Gateway Device) protocols are used for NAT traversal. The proposed framework is well-suited for high mobility applications where the fast deployment and low administration efforts of IP cameras are desired. Keywords: IP Camera (IP CAM); Network Address Translation (NAT); Session Initial Protocol (SIP) 1. Introduction ronments, IP CAMs and other devices advertise them- selves, supplying details about their capabilities and the information one must know to access the service (e.g., the IP address). Nevertheless, existing service discovery protocols are limited only to local area networks (LANs). Some service discovery protocols are also not able to provide functions for NAT traversal. The goal of this paper therefore is to present a novel service discovery protoco
