Re: Another clause 49 issue
Pat, Ben,
Per my note on the subject of Link Status encodings dated 11/15/00:
http://www.ieee802.org/3/10G_study/email/msg03807.html, I'd like to
preserve the all of the optional code features outlined in
walker_1_0700.pdf slide 19 as well as extensions to support 10GE Pulse
Ordered-Sets and the preservation of codes to support 10GFC Signal sand
Sequence Ordered-Sets.
The best way to illustrate these extensions is in the form of of a table
summarizing the Ordered-Set Codes similar to the one at the top of slide
19 of walker_1_0700.pdf, and a second table extending table 49-1. These
two tables are attached to this note. I'd like to include the
information from these tables into D2.0 based on the motion to include
Link Status functions to support Local Fault and Remote Fault as well as
the NCITS T11 request to reserve unused codes for 10GFC usage.
Best Regards,
Rich
