RE: Issues concerning 10GbE speed standards

Mark:

I think it is good idea to wait till the dust settling down, then propose
what the best.

I agree, we may be overly anxious to settle down some issues in Montreal
next week based on limited data available.  We may have to open-up the view
wider, and think what market really want several years from now.

Ed,

We would like to present this option but are waiting to see how the distance
and
other 'objective' issues sort themselves out first and then determine what
PHY
proposals make sense.

One concern I have is the 10GbE standards process is not forward thinking
enough
and will base the future physical plant objectives on what it looks like
today.
But I understand this could also lead to bedlam in which case the group must
put
a stake in the ground in order to make progress in a timely fashion.

Mark:

I agree there is another parallel option using ribbon cable of multiple
fibers.
You may like to present this approaches to committee.  Fiber bandwidth issue
can be resolved one way or the other.
