It is Cisco proprietary.

Other vendor use protocol same as dmvpn but no totally dmvpn

"""Cisco DMVPN (Cisco Dynamic Multipoint VPN) is one solution to this. Huawei also had their DMVPN-compatible solution called DSVPN (Dynamic Smart VPN). Since the protocol is largely compatible, I’ll just reference it as DMVPN"""

Thank you for the response.

In some way, both opinions are correct. DMVPN combines the three standard protocols IPSec, GRE and NHRP in a specific way. Although the three components are all established standards, the resulting DMVPN is not a standard. Every vendor could combine these protocol the same way, but for me the result is still a proprietary protocol.
