64/66 on SONET (RE: AIS (RE: WIS OH))




Roy,

Thanks for your feedback, but your scenario looks like assuming 
WAN-PHY and is not directly related to my current concern about 
the stand-alone operation of LAN-PHY Attachment Unit.
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/3/10G_study/email/msg02648.html

Therefore I take the liberty to change the thread for my comment 
to your proposal/concern.

As I understand, you have proposed additional trouble-shooting 
capability other than SONET-compatible OAM&P by defining new 
payload mapping rule during the fault situations, assuming the 
Ether-on-SONET style packet delineation.  Also you claim 64B/66B 
on SONET could not support such a trouble-shooting capability.

I am not yet convinced why we need such a trouble-shooting 
capability beyond SONET-compatible OAM&P.  However if the community 
agree to supporting it as WAN-PHY functionality, it is easy to be 
implemented even in 64B/66B on SONET; just defining another LSS 
control code.

Therefore I DO support 64B/66B on SONET.

Best Regards,
Osamu
