The Media Dispatch Protocol (MDP) is a means of orchestrating the delivery of media files over IP networks.It defines a standard mechanism for implementations to initiate a delivery, to negotiate the details of thedelivery, to provide information about the progress of the delivery, and to provide a confirmation of theoutcome of the delivery.
It is important to note that MDP is not a transfer protocol. Instead it allows organizations to transfer files atagreed times, using agreed transfer protocols, and using an agreed set of secure technologies (whereappropriate). Furthermore, MDP is not overly prescriptive in regards to which protocols or technologies shallbe used; rather it provides a framework which allows organizations to choose those that best suit their ownneeds.
This document is the MDP Engineering Guideline. It provides an introduction to the protocol, explains whatproblem it is intended to solve, and outlines how it works. It also provides information what is contained in thenormative MDP specification documents.
