[802.3_100GCU] meeting notes from EEE consensus meeting 20120816

[Mike Bennett <mjb@xxxxxx>]

EEE for P802.3bj consensus call 2012-08-16

Meeting began at 8:10 AM PDT

Agenda:  

• Review “EEE in 40/100G PMA” by Hugh Barrass
• Discuss next steps

Mike opened the meeting, reviewing the agenda and asked for changes to it.  There were none.
Hugh presented “EEE in 40/100G PMA”

Discussion:

Seems necessary to open clause 74, Adam was hoping not to, but is willing to as it appears unavoidable.

Discussion as to whether or not scrambler bypass is necessary or use RAMs

Clarification:

• can’t have fast wake and “normal” EEE enabled simultaneously
• Couldn’t find energy detect in clause 72 - energy detect doesn’t include anything from the PMA, it’s just passed through.  Since this isn’t relevant for fast wake, likely not to be an issue

Action Items:

Hugh will make modifications based on feedback and recirculate the slides prior to submitting comments on D1.1.

Participants will review changes and provide feedback prior to end of comment cycle.

Adam and Hugh to have a call to discuss Clause 91 - is everything there that needs to be regarding EEE?



Meeting ended at 9:03 AM PDT
