I do not support
this change. I think the PAR and objectives already make it perfectly clear
that we are only defining a PHY.

Greetings,
Howard Frazier has proposed the following modification to the scope
of the 10GBASE-T PAR to help narrow the focus and prevent the interpretation
that the Study Group is planning to make modifications to the MAC, and to
make sure the Study Group is focused on the horizontal structured copper
cabling environment:
Specify a Physical Layer (PHY) for operation at 10
Gb/s
on
horizontal structured copper cabling, using the existing
Media Access Controller, and
with extensions to the appropriate
physical layer management
parameters, of IEEE Std 802.3.
Is there any
feedback on this proposed modification?
Thanks,
