The collision is unfortunate, but I agree that the context should be enough.
Agreed -- other technical writers have also used this version of the
GARP acronym in doco.
However, that GARP -- 802.1ak -- is due to be replaced with MRP.
The "Mental-map Rewriting Protocol"? ;-)
Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) is intended to fill most of the
roles GARP/GVRP did, for dynamic VLAN, end-station MAC and L2 multicast
registration. (Think Ethernet multicast without IP.)
Actually, being reminded of this gave me an idea -- adding a subset of
what's needed to support MRP to if_bridge would probably also help for
supporting Ethernet rings; those protocols need to call into VLAN
registration and port blocking too.
It would make for some good junior kernel hacker tasks...
