Microcom Networking Protocol
Definition Notes
- The MNP (Microcom Networking Protocol) family of
error-correcting protocols were commonly used on early high-speed (2400 bit/s and
higher) modems. Originally developed for use on Microcom's own family of modems, the
protocol was later openly licensed and used by most of the modem industry, notably the
"big three", Telebit, USRobotics and Hayes. MNP was later supplanted by v.42bis, which
was used almost universally on the first v.32bis modems in the early
1990s.
