All, The baseline ad-hoc meeting was held earlier today with excellent participation. Attendees: Hugh Barrass, Anatoly Moldovansky, Anthony Sorbello, Brian Allen, Arvind Kansal, Marek Hajduczenia, Daniel Sexton, Albert Tretter, Pat Thaler, Alon Regev, TI Denis Beaudoin, Joel Goergen, Geoff Thompson Hugh reminded attendees of the patent policy and displayed the links to access the policy online. The discussion focused on the baseline presentation adopted by the Task Force: http://www.ieee802.org/3/br/8023-IET-TF-1401_thaler-01-0114-iet-proposal-v2.pdf The main topics of conversation were: SMD-E vs SFD as a start delimiter for express frames. It was clear that this topic will require further discussion. Preamble length – particularly with respect to PCS alignment issues. Fragment count. MACsec – although the question was raised, time did not permit a full dicussion, we should re-open this topic on the next call. The next call is scheduled for 8.00am PDT on April 10th. My personal observation: There were a number of „Ethernet experts“ on the call who have not been able to attend Task Force meetings. The discussions and agreements amongst this wider audience will significantly increase
the quality of the Task Force work and will enable an easier passage during Working Group and Sponsor ballot. Hugh. |
