Java Remote Method Protocol JRMP <protocol> (JRMP) A proprietary {wire-level protocol} designed by {Sun Microsystems} to transport {Java} {RMI}. JRMP serves the same function as {IIOP}, but also supports object passing. {Sun} plans to offer {IIOP} as an alternative to JRMP. Sun do not appear to use this term any longer, simply referring to the "RMI transport protocol". (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3.0/docs/guide/rmi/spec/rmi-protocol3.html).
