Glossary Gigabit Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet transmits at 1000 Mbps, and is compatible with existing 10/100 Ethernet standards. GRE Generic Routing Encapsulation. Enables tunneling using encapsulation with various protocol packet types. GRE creates a virtual point-to-point link to remote IP internetwork routers. GVRP GARP VLAN Registration Protocol. Registers client stations into a VLAN. H HMP Host Monitoring Protocol. Collects network information from various networks hosts. HMP monitors hosts spread over the internet as well as hosts in a single network. HOL Head of Line. Packets are queued. Packets at the head of the queue are forwarded before packets at the end. Hop The path between two network devices, for example, two routers. Host A computer that acts as a source of information or services to other computers. Hot Swapping Allows specific modules to be removed and/or replaced while the host device is running without reconfiguring the device. HTTP HyperText Transport Protocol. Transmits HTML documents between servers and clients on the internet. I IAD Integrated Access Device. Device that multiplexes varied communication technologies onto a single telephone line for transmission to the carrier. IC Integrated Circuit. Small electronic devices composed from semiconductor material. ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol. Allows the gateway or destination host to communicate with the source host. For example, to report a processing error. IDRP Inter-Domain Routing Protocol. Specifies how routers communicate with different domain routers. IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. An engineering organization that develops communications and networking standards. IEEE 802.1d Used in the Spanning Tree Protocol, IEEE 802.1d supports MAC bridging to avoid network loops. IEEE 802.1p Prioritizes network traffic at the data-link/MAC sub-layer. Glossary-6 www.hp.com Embedded Web System User Guide
