UPnP and NAT-PMP are simply different implementations of the same concept, automated NAT port mapping. These protocols are designed to allow clients to automatically configure the port-forwarding rules of a router/firewall. A common example is to enable UPnP so that an Xbox 360 can successfully connect to Xbox Live.
