Information on MNP Class 4

MNP Class 4·is one of the error correction and data compression protocols developed by the modem manufacturer Microcom.
     MNP Class 4 ·implemented:

  • Adaptive size packet assembly: the size of data packets is adjusted according to the quality of the line to avoid errors and retransmissions
  • Data phase packet format optimisation: eliminates the portions of the overhead or framing bytes in the data packets that do not change during data transfer.

     Implementation of MNP Class 4 protocols can increase transmission efficiency by up to 20%.
