An advantage of upnp is that it also provides a protocol for some 
configuration/communication.
The disadvantage is that it provides a protocol that is xml/soap...

With bonjour you have to use your own protocols and only announce what you 
speak at which port. Especially if your protocol is already defined, bonjour is 
easier.
