Digital Data Communications Message Protocol (DDCMP) was devised by Digital Equipment Corporation in 1974 to allow communication over point-to-point network links for its DECnet Phase I network protocol. It could use full or half duplex synchronous and asynchronous links and allowed errors introduced in transmission to be detected and corrected. It was retained and extended for later versions of its DECnet protocol.
