Re: [BP] BETF auto-negotiation

["Hegde, Gopal D" <gopal.d.hegde@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andre,

Intel is one of the contributors to a proposal. The other
co-contributors include IBM, HPQ and VTSS. We made the original proposal
in March plenary and presented an updated version in the May interim.
This material is on the 802.3ap web site.

We welcome any additional participants / contributors. Ilango Ganga and
Luke Chang copied above are the right contacts to start working with on
this.

Thanks and best regards,

Gopal Hegde

Subject: [BP] BETF auto-negotiation

All,

TI is interested in making a presentation on SERDES compatible FLP burst
signalling for auto-negotiation.

Nothing magic, simply replace 10BaseT link pulses with carrier bursts
like those used by PCI-Express and Serial-ATA.
This ought to allow re-use of technology already under development for
those standards.

Is anyone else working in this area ?, We are keen to collaborate with
any other interested parties.

Regards
