Microcom networking protocols (MNP) are error correction and
data compression protocols developed by the modem manufacturer Microcom.
MNP classes
or groups of protocols are excellent examples of de facto
standards, which are supported by most modems.
However, MNP classes often
form the basis for standards—for example, the ITU V.42 error
correction standard incorporates MNP Classes 2, 3 and 4.
