[802.3_ISAAC] PHY naming based on yesterday's straw polls

[Natalie Wienckowski <natalie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Colleagues,

Below you will find an update of the individual PHY naming and group naming based on the straw polls yesterday.

Please review and let me know if you have any questions or comments.  If requested, we can have additional discussions on this topic.

2xx.1.2 PHY/PMD types

I have included a table here to show the different PHYs to be defined and what all the characters that I am using in the names mean.  These are subject to approval.

x/y  x is the transmit speed, y is the receive speed

T1 – single shielded balanced pair of conductors (SBP)

V1 – single coaxial cable (Coax)

 

PHY name	Transmit speed	Receive speed	Cable type
100M+2.5GMBASE-T1	100M	2.5G	SBP
2.5G+100MBASE-T1	2.5G	100M	SBP
100M+5GBASE-T1	100M	5G	SBP
5G+100MBASE-T1	5G	100M	SBP
100M+10GBASE-T1	100M	10G	SBP
10G+100MBASE-T1	10G	100M	SBP
100M+2.5GBASE-V1	100M	2.5G	Coax
2.5G+100MBASE-V1	2.5G	100M	Coax
100M+5GMBASE-V1	100M	5G	Coax
5G+100MBASE-V1	5G	100M	Coax
100M+10GBASE-V1	100M	10G	Coax
10G+100MBASE-V1	10G	100M	Coax

 

When talking about all high speed transmit PHYs, regardless of cable type, use:

MultiG+100MBASE-T1/V1.

When talking about all low speed transmit PHYs, regardless of cable type, use:

100M+MultiGBASE-T1/V1.

When talking about all PHYs communicating on shielded, balanced, pair of conductors, regardless of transmit speed, use:

                MultiG+100M/100M+MultiGBASE-T1

When talking about all PHYs communicating on coaxial cable, regardless of transmit speed, use:

                MultiG+100M/100M+MultiGBASE-V1

When talking about all PHYs, regardless of transmit speed or cable type, use:

                MultiG+100M/100M+MultiGBASE-T1/V1
