GLOSSARY

Bandwidth Utilization

The percentage of packets received over time as compared to overall 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 such that multicast data frames are propagated only to those parts of a switched LAN containing registered endstations. (Formerly called Group Address Registration Protocol.)

Group Address Registration Protocol

See Generic Attribute Registration Protocol.

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)

Commonly used to send echo messages (i.e., Ping) for monitoring purposes.
