802.3ba Members,
As we develop baseline proposals in advance of the
upcoming January Interim, I would request that you consider the
following;
a) Support 40G and 100G in a clean, scaleable way that
allows a dual speed implementation with minimal excess
logic.
b) Support interface widths and speeds that are readily
adaptable.
c) Support a means for connecting 40G equipment to 40/100G
in a way that the 100G can automatically detect and dropping
speed.
d) Contemplate future scalability because Ethernet is not
going to stop at 100G.
Our customers are going to be put into a situation where
they will end up having 40G gear and 100G gear in their networks. Whatever we
can do to ensure they do not end up having to throw some of that away for lack
of compatibility/adaptability would be a service to them, and thus, to
ourselves.
Regards,
Dan Dove ---- |
