[802.3_100GCU] Optics - No AN for FEC

All,

 

In the NG 100G Optical Ethernet Study Group this week, the presentation http://www.ieee802.org/3/100GNGOPTX/public/jan12/traverso_01_0112_NG100GOPTX.pdf was made by Gary Nicholl with the key statement:

 

If new PMD(s) employ FEC, preference is that it is mandatory

–Low Latency FEC is preferred

–Proliferation of FEC types is burdensome

 

Auto-negotiation is not sought. The presence or lack of presence of FEC is considered to be a separate PMD.  See slide 11 on how to manage FEC over various PMDs.
