RE: [802.3ae] (802.3ae) 10GBASE-R PCS test pattern error counts
Glen,
The relevant text is in 49.2.12. The intent is that the pattern checker
operates on blocks. That is why loading the new seed will cause a single
error. Re-reading the text, it could be more clear on that point. The
appropriate way to get it clarified at this point would be to submit a
sponsor ballot comment. If you are not on the sponsor ballot pool, I could
submit such a comment.
This is minor and should not be submitted as a recirculation comment since
the text did not change from 3.3.

Subject: [802.3ae] (802.3ae) 10GBASE-R PCS test pattern error counts
I am looking for guidance in implementing the 10GBASE-R PCS
test pattern error counter. It is a little unclear as to whether I
should count the individual bits in error, or count blocks in error.
Is there a definition on exactly what the counter counts?
Any help is appreciated.
