Sorry, I don't have a GVRP switch available - but I have now found som GVRP
packets in an old capture.
They are captured on an Extreme switch (mirror port).
I have modified the source mac-adress in the capture.

My knowledge about GVRP is very limited so I don't know if there should be
any acknowledgement.
