Thanks Pat,
   
  This material is 
  very relevant for understanding undetected error rate for 
  802.3ae and will aid in our 802.3an analysis. 
  Is there a similar 
  analysis for the 1000Base-T project?
   
  Regards,
  Jose
  
  
  Hugh and I were 
  asked for references showing how undetected error rate was analyzed in 
  previous 802.3 projects. Here is some of the material for the 64b/66b 
  code in IEEE p802.3ae.
   
  For 64b/66b, one 
  analysis of the scrambler non-effect on CRC error detection can be found 
  in:
