attributes with other participants by making or withdrawing declarations of attributes
and at the same time, based on received declarations or withdrawals, handles
attributes of other participants. When a port receives an attribute declaration, it
registers the attribute; when a port receives an attribute withdrawal, it deregisters the
attribute.
GARP participants send protocol data units (PDU) with a particular multicast MAC
address as destination. Based on this address, a device can identify to which GVRP
application, GVRP for example, should a GARP PDU be delivered.
