[802.3_DMLT] IEEE P802.3br/D2.0 Interspersing Express Traffic Working Group initial ballot started
Dear Task Force Participants,
With this e-mail, I'd like to announce the start of the IEEE P802.3br/D2.0 Interspersing Express Traffic Working Group initial ballot.
Open date: Monday 30th March 2015
Close date: Tuesday 28th April 2015 23:59 AOE
As stated in the attached announcement to the IEEE 802.3 WG, the ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Friday 13th March 2015. All comments received before the close of ballot will be considered, the one limitation however is that if you are not a member of the balloting group, and therefore cannot cast a ballot, you cannot designate comments as TR or ER since you cannot cast a Disapprove ballot.
Best regards,
Ludwig Winkel

Dear Colleagues:
This is the announcement of the electronic IEEE 802.3 Working Group Initial ballot on the Amendment IEEE P802.3br Interspersing Express Traffic. Remember that voting, as well as attendance, is a requirement to maintain your IEEE 802.3 member (voter) status. Instructions for accessing the draft, casting your ballot and submitting comments follow this announcement. The ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Friday 13th March 2015.
BALLOT SCOPE:
As a Working Group initial ballot, the scope of the ballot is the complete IEEE P802.3br draft.
FIVE CRITERIA:
One of the responsibilities as a balloter is to ensure that draft is consistent with the 5 Criteria responses which are available at <http://ieee802.org/3/br/8023-DMLT-SG-1311-Winkel-5C-v2.3.pdf>. An Approve vote indicates your agreement that the draft is consistent with the 5 Criteria responses.
BALLOT OPEN:
Monday 30th March 2015
BALLOT CLOSE:

The Project Authorization Request for this Amendment is available at <http://ieee802.org/3/br/P802d3br_PAR.pdf> and includes the following:
TITLE:
Standard for Ethernet Amendment Specification and Management Parameters for Interspersing Express Traffic
SCOPE OF PROJECT:
The scope of this project is to specify additions to and appropriate modifications of IEEE Std 802.3 to add support for interspersing express traffic over a single physical link.
NEED FOR THE PROJECT:
* Adoption of Ethernet into new market areas such as automotive, industrial automation, transportation (aircraft, railway and heavy trucks) has generated a need to converge low latency and best effort traffic streams.
* Currently this functionality requires multiple networks with parallel links.
* IEEE Std 802.3 currently does not have support for interspersed express traffic.
* This project will allow the needs of IEEE P802.1Qbu to be met with a single physical link between bridges.
Thank you for your participation in this ballot and careful review of the draft.
