Full-duplex

A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received at the same time and, in effect, doubles the potential throughput of a link.

G

GARP

See “Generic Attribute Registration Protocol” on page 8.

GARP Information Propagation

GIP is the propagation of information between GARP participants for the same application in a bridge is carried out by a GIP component.

GARP Multicast Registration Protocol

GMRP provides a mechanism that allows Bridges and end stations to dynamically register (and subsequently, de-register) Group membership information with the MAC Bridges attached to the same LAN segment, and for that information to be disseminated across all Bridges in the Bridged LAN that support Extended Filtering Services. The operation of GMRP relies upon the services provided by the GARP.

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol

GVRP allows workstations to request admission to a particular VLAN for multicast purposes.

Gateway

A local device, usually a router, that connects hosts on a local network to other networks.

GE

See “Gigabit Ethernet” on page 8.

Generic Attribute Registration Protocol

GARP provides a generic attribute dissemination capability that is used by participants in GARP Applications (called GARP Participants) to register and de-register attribute values with other GARP Participants within a Bridged LAN. The definition of the attribute types, the values that they can carry, and the semantics that are associated with those values when registered are specific to the operation of the GARP Application concerned.

Gigabit Ethernet

An Ethernet system that is designed to operate at 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).

GIP

See “GARP Information Propagation” on page 8.
