92 GLOSSARY HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol. This is a set of rules for exchanging files (text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files) on the World Wide Web. IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. This American organization was founded in 1963 and sets standards for computers and communications. IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 A standard that defines the behavior of bridges in an Ethernet network. Edition IEEE Std 802.1p A standard that defines traffic prioritization. 802.1p is now incorporated into the relevant sections of the IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 Edition. IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998 A standard that defines VLAN tagging. IEEE Std 802.3ad A standard that defines link aggregation. 802.3ad is now incorporated into the relevant sections of the IEEE Std 802.3-2002. IEEE Std 802.3x A standard that defines a system of flow control for ports that operate in full duplex. 802.3x is now incorporated into the relevant sections of the IEEE Std 802.3-2002. IEEE Std 802.1w-2001 A standard that defines Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) behavior. IEEE Std 802.1X-2001 A standard that defines port-based network access control behavior. IETF Internet Engineering Task Force. An organization responsible for providing engineering solutions for TCP/IP networks. In the network management area, this group is responsible for the development of the SNMP protocol. IGMP snooping A mechanism performed by an intermediate device, such as a Layer 2 Switch, that optimizes the flow of multicast traffic. The device listens for IGMP messages and build mapping tables and associated forwarding filters, in addition to reducing the IGMP protocol traffic. Internet Group Management Protocol Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a protocol that runs between hosts and their immediate neighboring multicast routers. The protocol allows a host to inform its local router that it wishes to receive transmissions addressed to a specific multicast group. Based on group membership information learned from the IGMP, a router is able to
