Other Classes of MNP
MNP Class 2 uses standard asynchronous framing techniques for data 
transmission and error correction. Because of this protocol overhead, the 
actual throughput is less than the bps rate of the modem.
MNP Class 3 uses synchronous framing techniques. Removing start and 
stop bits associated with each character prior to transmitting results in a 
20% performance increase over Class 2. Thus, actual throughput is 
greater than the modem’s bps rate.
MNP Class 4 uses synchronous framing techniques plus improvements 
developed by Microcom Adaptive Packet Assembly and Optimized Data 
Phase. These enhancements result in better performance for all types of 
connections.
Adaptive Packet Assembly automatically adjusts the size of the data 
packets based on the quality of the telephone line. When the line quality is 
good and there are few retransmissions, the modem increases the packet 
size. When the line quality is poor and retransmissions are frequent, the 
size of the packet decreases in order to maintain high throughput during 
error correction under poor conditions.
Optimized Data Phase is the redesign of the MNP protocol header that 
reduces the number of overhead bytes per data packet. For example, 
modems operating at Class 4 service transmit data at 2,900 bps.
MNP Class 6 allows half-duplex, fast-train, high-speed reliable 
connections with other MNP Class 6 modems at speeds of 4,800 to
9,600 bps.
Universal Link Negotiation allows the modem to automatically connect 
with other MNP modems at the highest common speed and protocol.
Statistical Duplexing
 
adjusts the line bandwidth and data traffic flow 
during reliable connections to achieve maximum throughput. 
MNP Class 7 provides Enhanced Data Compression, which combined 
with Class 4 allows throughput of more than twice the connection speed. 
MNP Class 7 Enhanced Data Compression not only dynamically adjusts 
to the type of data being transmitted, but allows for the probability of 
character frequency, for superior compression efficiency. 
MNP Class 9 includes enhanced Universal Link Negotiation.
