BMP: Burst Mode Protocol

The Burst Mode Protocol (BMP), a protocol in the Novell NetWare suite, was designed to allow multiple responses to a single request for file reads and writes. Burst Mode increases the efficiency of client/server communications by allowing workstations to submit a single file read or write request and receive up to 64 kilobytes of data without submitting another request. BMP is actually a type of NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) packet (Request type = 7777H).
