Microcom Networking Protocol. A type of error control and data compression, created by Microcom, that many newer modems use. It is built into the modem, unlike software error correction in file transfer protocols. There are different MNP levels. Levels 1-4 are error control protocols, and level 5 is a data compression protocol that can compress data to about 50% of its original size. A modem with MNP-5 also has MNP-4. MNP 1-4 is also included in the CCITT V.42 error correction system.
Microcom Networking Protocol. A series of protocols built into most modems which error-check or compress data being transmitted over a phone line. [Source: RFC1983

Microcom network protocol. Error-checking, and compression routines that make modems communicate faster and more reliably.
Microcom Network Protocol. Early error correction and data compression protocol created by Micron.
(Microcom Network Protocols). Protocols for error correction and data compression by Microcom-Inc..
Microcom Networking Protocol. A set of hardware error protection protocols (MNP levels 1 - 4) and data compression techniques (MNP level 5) developed by Microcom, now in the public domain. It makes use of CRC and retransmission of defective blocks by checking performed within the modem.
A series of protocols designed by Microcom to support error control and data compression for asynchronous modem transmission.
Microcom Networking Protocol. Error protocols = MNP Class 2-4; Data Compression protocols = MNP Class 5.
Microcom Networking Protocol. A series of data communications protocols developed by Microcom for full-duplex, error-free communications.
Microcom Networking Protocol. Asynchronous error control protocol using CRC (cyclic redundancy check) error detection and retransmission of damaged frames.
Microcom Networking Protocol. A type of error correcting/compression protocol. The error correction protocols add some overheads, but can give some data compression. This means that the overall data rate varies between about 80% and 120% of the basic transmission speed, depending on the error correction level used. Currently there are four levels of error correction designated MNP1 to MNP4. MNP5 is a data compression protocol.
Microcom Networking Protocol. These protocols were developed for error recovery and data compression (in order to speed up the transmission). They are now in the public domain.
Microcom Networking Protocol is an error-control protocol developed by Microcom, Inc., and now in the public domain. There are several different MNP protocols, but the most commonly used one ensures error-free transmission through error detection (CRC) and retransmission of erred frames.
microcorn Networking Protocol. Detects and corrects data errors caused by telephone line noise and signal distortion. MNP 5 includes data compression.
communications:(Microcom Networking Protocol) A set of hardware error protection protocols (MNP Levels 1-4) and data compression techniques (MNP Level 5) developed by Microcom. It makes use of CRC and retransmission of defective blocks by checks performed within the modem. It is strictly an American standard and is considered inferior to v.32 and v.42.
