title: What is the "JNP" protocol?
body: <p>I see URLs like <code>jnp://localhost:1099/</code> mentioned when reading about HornetQ. What is the <code>jnp</code> protocol? What does it stand for? Where is the specification?</p>
  
  <p>All I could find was <a href="https://developer.jboss.org/thread/75457">this forum thread, "What is JNP"</a>, in which the question does not get answered.</p>
