The Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) defines a communication model intended to<br />
facilitate communication between:<br />
• Management controllers and other management controllers<br />
• Management controllers and management devices<br />
The communication model includes a message format, transport description, message exchange<br />
patterns, and configuration and initialization messages.<br />
The MCTP Base Specification (MCTP) describes the protocol and commands used for communication<br />
within and initialization of an MCTP network. Associated with the MCTP Base Specification are transport<br />
binding specifications that define how the MCTP base protocol and MCTP control commands are<br />
implemented on a particular physical transport type and medium, such as SMBus/I 2 C, PCI Express<br />
(PCIe) Vendor Defined Messaging, and so on.<br />
