I don't see where they define the acronym "MMP" as being what you'd like it to be. Based on context, it sounds to me like some sort of software protocol.
"mobile IP protocol (MIP)"
"The claimed subject matter relates to configuring a host device through utilization of MMP, which is a protocol that is based upon MIP but not associated with several deficiencies associated therewith."
