[RPRWG] Phy Layer question



I am new to the group.  I have been reading  up the presentations. I have a simple question.
We are saying .17 will be layer 1 agnostic.  However, (if sonet is the phy used) sonet is aware of the ring structure - for APS, etc.
Will the .17 specify how a sonet framer should be defeatured to work with a RPR MAC?
 
Thanks,

Sounds great. The definition sounds more clear too.
The only minor tweak that I would suggest is to replace the word node with flows or conversations in the end of the definition which would make it:
 
Bottleneck-link fairness: Fairness based on a mechanism that controls the throughput of each node according to a fair proportion of that link between source and destination that is shared by the highest number of nodes.

Dear Khaled
 
Thank you for your comments. I will try to quantify maximum delay bounds for different kind of services.
 
Next try.
I will change the original definition
Bottleneck-link fairness: Fairness based on a mechanism that coordinates the ring access of only those nodes that use the same links for their packet transfers.

Best regards, Harmen

Harmen,
 
This is an excellent piece of work.
 
I have a couple of questions:
  • Do we want to quantify delay jitter instead of just mentioning variation in delay? I know it's a sore point in the literature, but maybe we can come up with something.
  • Not sure I understand your definition for Bottleneck-link fairness
Thanks.
