Description: Transporting DNP V3.00 over Local and Wide Area Network.
1 Overview
1.1 Purpose
DNP V3.00 (hereafter referred to simply as DNP) was designed for serial point-to-point communication (e.g. RS-232) with limited support for half duplex serial networks (e.g. RS-485). In order for devices to exchange DNP messages in a local (LAN) and/or wide area network (WAN), one must either augment the protocol to support a network environment or use an existing network transport mechanism. This document takes the latter approach specifically, to define how to transport DNP traffic on the internet protocol suite.
