All,
   
  I've been getting questions about Phase I of the performance modeling and 
  what's included. 
  Throughout the work of the ad-hoc group we came to an agreement to these 
  metrics and parameters. 
  We've been trying to put it in a document, but it got into too much 
  details related to headers, signals and interfaces which hindered its 
  progress. 
   
  In my opinion, based on several years of performance modeling as a 
  career, all what is needed is in the attached presentation. There are some 
  minor points that are left open which provide us with some flexibility. 
   
  Please use this as a guideline for your performance modeling efforts. 
  
  If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let me 
  know.
