Re: [802.3_EPOC] EPoC or EPOC?

Hmm... Interesting!

I did not mean to be using RRO literally in my Email (my expressions were more colloquialisms), but since you bring that up, does this kind of thing require a motion? Or, can we all just agree to use terminology/naming and that's good enough to move forward?

I guess the same would apply to the use of the name for the converter, duplex repeater, or optical-coax unit (OCU) as you coined.

Thanks!
Jorge

Jorge,

 

If you believe this level of formalization is needed, it would take a motion at the meeting. We do not do motions via email J

Thanks!

So, since it appears to be up to us, then lower case it shall be, unless someone objects?

And, the meaning of EPoC will be EPON protocol over Coax, right?

All in favor... anyone opposed...

Thanks!
Jorge

Indeed, and a silly one on my side … still does not change the fact that this “of” is in lower-case J

Slight correction here, Marek, and a common mistake made when spelling out the acronym…  The “o” in DPoE is for “of”, as in DOCSIS Provisioning *of* EPON.

Jorge,

 

I think “appropriate” in this context is a relative term. We, the SG members, ought to decide what the proper way of referencing the technology is. I recall in 802.3av, we spent half a day debating what to call PMDs and what EPON really is, how to designate symmetric and asymmetric options etc.. Someone might think it was a waste of time, but I think it clarified a lot and served a consensus building exercise and fostered better understanding among membership of that TF.

 

In here, I would suggest to use “EPoC”. First, because of DPoE already defined by CableLabs, which incidentally also uses “over” in the name, and second, because this is the capitalization used in the CFI and the SG website (see http://www.ieee802.org/3/epoc/index.html). We should be consistent with that and not try to change the name unless there is a strong reason for it (e.g. would cause confusion with some other technology or brand name, which is not the case AFAIK).  

 

Hope that helps

 

Regards

 

Marek

Study Group members,

 

I see the acronym EPOC (with capital O) used in the IEEE discussions. Within the Cable Industry I have seen the acronym EPoC (with lower case o) used in our discussions, maybe borrowing from the use of the acronym DPoE (DOCSIS Provisioning of EPON).

 

Can someone with appropriate knowledge and understanding clarify whether EPOC or EPoC is right and why?

 

Thanks!

Jorge
