Realtek Remote Control Protocol
The Realtek Remote Control Protocol (RRCP), developed by Realtek, is an Application layer protocol, running directly over an Ethernet frames. Main idea behind this protocol is to allow direct access to the Ethernet switch controller's internal register over an Ethernet network itself. This approach allows to avoid cost of including a processor, RAM, Flash memory, etc. in a managed Ethernet switch. Instead, all "intelligence" is targeted to reside in a nearby computer, running special RRCP-aware Ethernet switch management software.

Famous quotes containing the words remote and/or control:
“We are no longer Christians: we have outgrown Christianity not because we have been too remote from it but rather because we have been too close—it is precisely our more stringent and more fastidious piety that forbids us to remain Christians nowadays.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“All industries are brought under the control of such people [film producers] by Capitalism. If the capitalists let themselves be seduced from their pursuit of profits to the enchantments of art, they would be bankrupt before they knew where they were. You cannot combine the pursuit of money with the pursuit of art.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
