The XCP specification is split into one "Protocol Layer" and several "Transport Layers". The "Protocol Layer" specification defines the generic measurement and calibration protocol which is independent from the network type being used. The different "Transport Layer" specifications define how XCP is transported in the different network types. Members of the XCP protocol family are e.g. "XCP on CAN" (being the successor of CCP), "XCP on Ethernet", "XCP on USB" and so on.
XCP is standardized as an ASAM specification (Association for Standardization of Automation and Measuring Systems). The current version 1.0 specifies the generic Protocol Layer and Transport Layers for CAN, SxI (serial interfaces), TCP/IP, UDP/IP, USB and FlexRay. A new member of the XCP protocol family is e.g. "XCP on LIN" (it is currently under development).
