Re: [802.3ae] Wan Interface Sublayer
Gary
This is a complex issue in a hypothetical case with worst case SONET
eye mask none of the existing CDR will function. But well designed
SONET link
operate reliably without an issue, but there exist some pathological
scenario.
IEEE has specified jitter tolerance in term of DJ, RJ, and some SJ
reassembling
more like real life operation. IEEE specification is more difficult on
the
CDR as the total jitter at the input of the CDR could be as high as
0.7-0.5 UI.
Beside the pathological scenario most long haul Sonet optics have
extremely
low jitter on the transmit side. However an IEEE complaint transmitter
may introduce more jitter especially deterministic and could break the
SONET receiver.
Thanks,
Ali
