[EFM-P2MP] unicast/multicast MACs in Clause 65
Hi,
At the last meeting, there was much discussion around the names
"unicast" and "multicast" when describing the MACs in the OLT
associated with a single LLID. We didn't want to take the time at
the meeting to resolve the names but we should probably try to do
so now, before we get to working group ballot. Are there any
suggestions?
The RS has no mechanism to differentiate packets from a single
MAC in order to apply different values of the MODE bit to them.
There are no out of band control signals from the MAC to support
this and we've put no rules on packet contents to support any kind
of filter to perform this differentiation.
If someone has ideas for new names, please respond to this email
so we can get some agreement before the meeing. If you want me
to submit the comment, please tell me or I'll expect that you will be
doing it.
Thanks,
Ben
