Axle tramp is when the driving wheels repeatedly leave the ground under acceleration, like a hopping motion. Its usually most common in cars with leaf spring suspension, but can (and does) happen to coil rear ends also. Its due to the suspension loading and unloading rapidly when torque is applied through the drivetrain. Good shock absorbers can help to damp this cyclic motion, as can keeping the suspension geometry as solid as possible through the use of urethane bushes.
It can happen with live rear end, IRS, open diffs, or LSD. I find it most noticeable in my car when both driving wheels spin, not with an open diff spinning one wheel only.
