LOSSARY

Bandwidth Utilization

The historical percentage of packets received as compared to total 
bandwidth. 

BOOTP

Boot protocol used to load the operating system for devices 
connected to the network.

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol 

(GVRP)

Defines a way for switches to exchange VLAN information in order 
to register necessary VLAN members on ports along the Spanning 
Tree so that VLANs defined in each switch can work automatically 
over a Spanning Tree network. 

Generic Attribute Registration Protocol 

(GARP)

GARP is a protocol that can be used by endstations and switches 
to register and propagate multicast group membership information 
in a switched environment so that multicast data frames are 
propagated only to those parts of a switched LAN containing 
registered endstations. Formerly called Group Address Registration 
Protocol.

Generic Multicast Registration Protocol 

(GMRP)

GMRP allows network devices to register endstations with 
multicast groups. GMRP requires that any participating network 
devices or endstations comply with the IEEE 802.1p standard. 

Group Attribute Registration Protocol 

See Generic Attribute Registration Protocol.
