RE: Objectives Revisited

["Edward Chang" <edward.chang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris:

 

We all agree the basic requirements all along.  We all like to resolve the issue with right solutions.

 

The 5-PMD will satisfy all issues been addressed by most of us. 3-PMD is kind of short to satisfy all requirements. 

Due to the complexity of the issues, the consensus did not come so easily.

 

I believe, if we continue to address the VSR, 100 meter, 300 meter requirements, all of us will appreciate more the needs of 5-PMDs.

 

You may be able to keep helping us adopt sufficient PMDs which will meet the requirement as listed from a major users like yourself to ,

 

YOUR REQUIREMENT:

   

Potential 10 Gb/s Ethernet customers addressing the committee have voiced strong

support for inclusion of a low-cost short-reach fiber objective to address the application space

of the Internet Data Center, the Equipment Room and the Central Office.

Subject: PMD: Objectives Revisited

 

I was completely frustrated by the 802.3 Working Group’s lack of constructive

response to Walter Thirion’s plea for their help in clarifying the PMD objectives

at the thursday meeting. I believe that Walter was trying to re-center the debate on

the PMD objectives in order to break the impasse on their implementations.

I believe Walter was on the right track. I propose that the committee should debate

the objectives of the PMD’s to clearly identify the application space and cost considerations.

 

I offer the following as a point of departure.

 

Objectives for debate:

 

- support of installed (legacy) 62.5 and 50 micron multimode fiber to 300 meters.

- support of a low-cost short-reach fiber solution for the Internet Data Center, Central Office,

  equipment room, and premise application to 300 meters (new installations).

 

Potential 10 Gb/s Ethernet customers addressing the committee have voiced strong

support for inclusion of a low-cost short-reach fiber objective to address the application space

of the Internet Data Center, the Equipment Room and the Central Office.
