Re: [8023-CMTF] 802.3ar/D0.9 is available

[David V James <dvj@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kevin,

 

I would claim that the TF has still not provided any promising

solutions for avoiding dropped frames in a short-distance

(computer room) environment.

 

Thus, since it doesn't currently meet its primary objective,

I would smile (rather than frown) at radical new ideas that

have a chance of meeting the primary objective.

Asif,

 

As with any TF meeting pre-D1.0, presentations in support of or related to the TF objectives are welcome and encouraged. Post-D1.0, the TF naturally shifts its focus to perfecting the draft. During that phase, radically new ideas are generally frowned upon.

 

That said, the plans for the meeting are

 

1) Review D0.9 and prepare D1.0. Since we have adopted one proposal in support of one of our objectives, it is the first order of business.

2) Entertain presentations, if any, in support of or related to the TF objectives.  I'll send my customary "Call for presentations" e-mail shortly.

Congestion Management TF members,

 

At the July 2005 IEEE 802 Plenary meeting in San Francisco, we (the P802.3ar CMTF) passed the following motion:

 

"Adopt changes to Clause 4, Annex 4A & Clause 30 described in barrass_1_0505.pdf as a baseline proposal for 802.3ar/D1.0. The changes to Clause 4 will be made after the
changes to Annex 4A have been solidified in 802.3ar TF review."

 

In order to jumpstart our progress on D1.0, Hugh Barrass and I have prepared P802.3ar/D0.9 for CMTF preview. It may be found here:

 

http://www.ieee802.org/3/ar/public/0511/802.3ar-d0_9.pdf

 

Please note this draft has no official status. It is being made available for TF preview, prior to the November meeting, in order to more efficiently prepare P802.3ar/D1.0 and commence TF ballot after we meet in November. Hope to see you in Vancouver.
