Multiple Registration Protocol Configuration

1

Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) is a base registration protocol that enables devices 
running an MRP application to register attributes to other devices in a network. MRP provides 
an application to register attributes such as bandwidth requirement for a given AV stream and 
MAC address information. It is used by various applications to propagate the registration. 
GS716T and GS724T Smart Switches support the following MRP applications:

Multiple MAC Reservation Protocol (MMRP)

Multiple Stream Reservation Protocol (MSRP)

MMRP allows for the propagation MAC address information in the network, and allows for the 
registration and deregistration of both individual MAC address information and group MAC 
address membership. End stations may request to join or leave a multicast group, or to 
register an individual MAC address with a specific VLAN. MAC address entries can be 
dynamically registered and deregistered if MMRP is administratively enabled on GS716T and 
GS724T Smart Switches.

MSRP reserves necessary resources in the network to facilitate time sensitive traffic to flow 
end to end. In a typical network, there are multiple Talkers (those who transmit streams) and 
multiple Listeners (those who receive streams from one or many Talkers). Each flow has 
specific bandwidth, frame rate, and time sync requirements. With the use of MSRP these 
resources are guaranteed through all intermediate devices that are between any talker and 
listener. 

MRP framework must be available and enabled in all intermediate 

devices to ensure that the propagation of the attributes occurs 
throughout the network.

With MRP, network attributes are declared, registered, withdrawn, and removed completely 
dynamically without any user intervention. This dynamic nature is especially useful in 
networks where:

Network attributes are likely to change frequently, requiring reconfiguration of the 

intermediate devices.

Recipients of these attributes frequently increase or decrease in number. 

Each of these changes without a dynamic self-adjusting framework would require 

constant attention from the network administrator.
