Java Remote Method 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".
