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 />
