Re: [10GBT] Framing for 10GBASE-T

[George Zimmerman <gzimmerman@SOLARFLARE.COM>]

Sanjay – I have seen 2 other proposals, one by Sailesh, in his original procedure, and the other by myself (to incorporate the control symbols directly into the TCM mapping, and thus avoid the higher baud rates).  There may be more brought to the group at the next meeting.

 

Discussion of these items might be useful on the reflector, however, we should refrain from trying to make group decisions without a formal meeting and voting process.

Subject: [10GBT] Framing for 10GBASE-T

 

All,

 

I have seen a proposal from Sailesh Rao to use 10GBASE-R (Clause 49) 64B/66B framing for 10GBASE-T - see http://www.ieee802.org/3/an/public/mar04/rao_1_0304.pdf.

 

I don't recall seeing any other framing proposal. Is everyone in favor of using 64B/66B framing? If not, can you point me to alternative framing proposals?

 

If there aren't any alternative proposals, shall we, as a group, focus on developing this further?

 

Regards,

 

Sanjay Kasturia
