IPMI Specification v1.5 defines Remote Management Control Protocol (RMCP). Version 1.5 adds features for layering commands through virtual networks like Ethernet.

The IPMC firmware that needs to be upgraded is loaded to client utility software on the RMCP client. The RMCP client uses the RMCP protocol carrying embedded IPMI messages to send to the RMCP Server running in the CMM. The RMCP server decodes the RMCP package and forwards the IPMI messages to the SBC.
