{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **UseMRP **property determines whether or not the IP Driver's Multiple Request Packet feature is active. Setting this property to 1 (TRUE) activates MRPs, and setting this property to 0 (FALSE) disables the MRP feature.

MRPs are designed to improve the performance of data transfer via IP protocol, by packaging multiple requests (records) into a single IP data packet.

**Implementation:**

The **NextServer** method queries the value of the **UseMRP** property, and sets the IP Driver's **IPRequestCount** property appropriately. If active, the value of the MRP is equal to the value set in the **MRPSize** property (default is 10). The Close Method clears the UseMRP property to FALSE.
