[802.3ae] Clarification of the WIS link status bit ( 45.2.2.2.2 WIS link status (2.1.2) )
Title: RE: [802.3ae] Link Fault Signaling due to FIFO under/over run
Could someone
clarify what the definition of WIS link status
is.
45.2.2.2.2 WIS link
status (2.1.2)The WIS link status
bit shall be implemented with latching low
behavior as defined in the introductory text
of
45.2.
My interpretation
is that the wis link is down when there is receive LOS, LOF, or excessive B2
BER.
Is my
interpretation correct, somewhat correct or way
off.
Thanks for your
feedback!
