Re: [802.3BA] 100GBASE-LR4 and ER4



Title: 100GBASE-LR4 and ER4

Pete,

 

 ‘refinements’ to 4x25G 10km baseline in COLE_01_0708 which increases Rx sensitivity by 0.4dB over that proposed in COLE_01_0508 which I agreed with.

 

  Not 100G but 40G: The budget for 10km 4x10G COLE_03_0708 has -11.5dBm OMA Rx sensitivity per lane which is 1.1dB tougher than the Munich proposal COLE_03_0508 which I agreed with back in May. This seems to be taking us further away from 10G BASE LR technology re-use.

 

 I know these numbers are subject to change at this stage but I’d like to understand the underlying rationale for the proposed changes in more depth than the time for Q&A in Denver would realistically allow.

Alan,

 

What were you concerned about?

Hi Pete,

 

  I’d certainly be interested in joining in an informal discussion over these specs – I was a bit concerned when going through the uploaded presentations.

 

See you in Denver.

Dear Task Force members,

During the process of discussing draft versions of contributions for the Denver meeting aimed at filling in the details of the 100GBASE-LR4 and ER4 optical parameter tables it has become clear that there are differing opinions over the detailed power budgets.

Since the Task Force has not yet adopted baseline presentations for all of its agreed objectives, it seems unlikely that there will be sufficient Task Force meeting time available next week to enter in to detailed discussion on optical parameter values for 100GBASE-LR4 and ER4.  However, as the Editor of the clause containing these PMDs, I will be tasked with creating the first draft of it during the period between the Denver meeting and the September interim.  I therefore wonder if there is any interest in holding an informal discussion to try to identify a set of parameter values that can be used as the basis of the first draft so that we can minimise the number of “TBDs” it contains.

If there is sufficient interest, I will confirm the time and location of the discussion during Tuesdays Task Force meeting.

See you all in Denver,

Pete Anslow
