| G.719 |
G.719 is an International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunications Unit, or ITU-T, audio codec standard for high quality, moderate bit rate (32 to 128 kbit/s) wideband (20 Hz - 20 kHz audio bandwidth, 48 kHz audio sample rate) audio coding at low computational load. G.719 is optimized for both speech and music. |
| G.729 |
G.729 is a codec (compression, decompression), or communications protocol for digital audio data streams. G.729 is widely used for VoiP, or Voice over Internet Protocol applications conserving valuable bandwidth. G.729 operates at 8 kb/s, and includes extensions, featuring transmission rates of 6.4 kbit/s (Annex D, F, H, I, C+) and 11.8 kbit/s (Annex E, G, H, I, C+) offering additional compatibilities, lower and higher speech qualities, respectively. |
| GARP |
Generic Attribute Registration Protocol, or GARP, is an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) protocol to constrain multicast traffic within bridged Ethernet networks. Aliases (separate with |): Generic Attribute Registration Protocol

| GbE |
Gigabit Ethernet, or GbE, (and also denoted as 1 GigE) is a term describing various technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of at least one gigabit per second, as defined by the IEEE 802.3-2008 standard. Half-duplex gigabit links connected through hubs are allowed by the specification but in the marketplace full-duplex with switches are normal. Gigabit Ethernet services operate over fiber optic media, currently at speeds up to 100 Gigabits per second. Aliases (separate with |): Gigabit Ethernet|GigE
