Abstract
Provided are a method and apparatus for notifying a specific device, which requests a service, of an event if the event relating to the service occurs in a home network. An event notification message that is multicasted in the home network includes a device ID that requests a service relating to an event, and devices discard the event notification message when the device ID included in the event notification message is not identical to IDs of the devices, thereby preventing all devices that are not related to the service from being notified of the event relating to the service.
