Description / Abstract: The IEEE Media Management Protocol (MMP) is used when an MMS application requests the services of the MM, including the following:

a) Access to media

b) Device management functions

c) Routine operational functions

d) MMS administration

This protocol specifies the syntax and the semantics associated with various commands and protocol messages that pass between an MMS application and the MM. In addition, this standard defines certain aspects of the operation of the MM itself in response to various events that occur in the MMS, for example, the initiation and termination of various components of the MMS.

Since this protocol is only used in the context of the MMS, this standard cannot be understood without a thorough understanding of its architecture and the underlying Data Model as described in IEEE Std 1244.1-2000.

This standard does not dictate or favor any particular implementation scheme for the MM. It is a standard for those interested in implementing applications that utilize the services of the MM. For example, the protocol requires that the MM employ a persistent store to keep track of various pieces of information. However, this specification does not imply any particular structure of the store. An MM implementation shall record errors and conditions that occur during the operation of the MMS. To achieve this, the Data Model defines a specific table, called the MESSAGE table. An MM implementation could provide additional logging capabilities that are beyond those defined by this standard.
