Duane,
I do not know what these questions really mean, given that it is not clear WHERE the fragmentation is done layer-wise and how the mechanism works. As Glen said, without pictures showing what happens where, we are making a lot of assumptions, which is not helpful to consensus building …

Subject: [802.3_NGEPON] Questions about fragmentation in EPON
Glen/Marek,
During the call today you both expressed concerns about fragmentation. Do the following two questions adequately capture your expressed concerns? If not please clarify.
1) In a multi-lane mixed capability network (mix of 25G, 50G & 100G ONUs) how would fragmenting avoid loss of capacity due to gaps between bursts?
2) In a multi-lane mixed capability network how could fragmenting allow an ONU that is bursting on X lanes expand its transmission to X+m (ex. go from 2 lane transmission to 4 lane transmission) smoothly?
Best Regards,
Duane
