[802.3ae_Serial] FW: DJ in fiber
I am forwarding this discussion to the reflector because this seems to be
relevant to all.
The discussion was between Russ Patterson of Picolight and Peter Öhlén of
Optillion, concerning the 10GBASE-S transversal filter used for TDP
measurement, but has general applicability to jitter measurements in the
entire standard.
Please review and comment to the reflector.
Cheers,
Dave

Russ,
I agree with Dave, that this is a great discussion for the reflector,
but I will just give a quick answer:
It is correct that there is no explicit allocation for jitter from the
fiber. Now, the rationale for the transversal filter may not be quite
clear from the text (which has not really changed in intention). Still,
the intention was that that filter would simulate a worst case channel.
Regards,
Peter
