I object to the proposed modification to the response to #48 – the word “can” is special in standard language and is not suitable in the quoted sentence. The PHYs in question are required (normatively) to include
the RS-FEC-Int sublayer – they may or may not enable it. This is similar to auto-negotiation which is
supported by several PHYs although it may be disabled. For comment #56, The reasoning for changing the response is not provided. I suggest submitting a comment against the next draft with proper justification. </Adee> From: Elizabeth Kochuparambil (edonnay) <00000b6647231c5d-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Dear Colleagues – Piers has requested that we reconsider comments #56 & 48 in our next call (see below). To be clear, these requests were received within the deadline, we were just working through a few logistics. I apologize for the delay. Given that these edits are minor (some may say editorial), I’d like to ask if there
is anyone who would object to these modifications? Please do so via the reflector… ~Beth Comment #56 Closed response is AIP: Replace struck through text with: "Bits F0 and F1 are only used for 10 Gb/s per lane operation PHYs. F2 and F3 are used for resolving FEC operation for 25G PHYs. F4 is used by 100G PHYs where
RS-FEC-Int (See Clause 161) is an alternative to the default RS-FEC (See Clause 91)." Proposed re-opening would remove the word only.
AIP: Replace struck through text with: "Bits F0 and F1 are used for 10 Gb/s per lane operation PHYs. [. . .] Comment #48 Closed response is AIP: Change text in 73.6.5.a to: "For 100GBASE-P PHYs which support RS-FEC-Int (see Clause 161) in addition to RSFEC (see Clause 91) the F4 field is used to negotiate which FEC sublayer is to be used. If either PHY requests RS-FEC-Int operation then RS-FEC-Int sublayer is enabled, otherwise RS-FEC sublayer is enabled." Proposed re-opening would change ‘support’ to ‘can include.’ AIP: Change text in 73.6.5.a to: "For 100GBASE-P PHYs which
can include RS-FEC-Int (see Clause 161) in addition to RSFEC (see Clause 91) the F4 field is used to negotiate which FEC sublayer is to be used. [. . .] To unsubscribe from the STDS-802-3-100GEL list, click the following link:
