Bill and All,
About the second question:
Have you considered the possibility of transmit
Ethernet frames over 1394?
It is far better to use Ethernet transport than IP,
and this solves the compatibility problem. If yous want to transmit IP, it
can be done over Ethernet, the opposite is much more complicated. In
addition Ethernet is, by default, multiprotocol.
Remember that the Fast Ethenet working group used
the physical hardware (TP-PMD) developed for FDDI, and the Giga Ethernet working
group used The ESCON form IBM.
I am not an expert in 1394, but it has a
bus topology, and I am sure that there is no problem to make an adaptation to
carry the Etenrnet frames.

Subject: Re: [RE] Results of today's
discussion
I am new to the reflector, so I hope it is OK if I ask a
couple of newbie questions:
1) How would a PAR for this study group differ from
802.3ar? Would the 2 TGs be coordinated somehow?
2) Bridging to 1394 is pretty stringent and may be
re-inventing the 1394 bridge wheel. Why not send IP over 1394 in the
home and use the isochronous services of 1394 over CAT-5 rather than
drastically changing Ethernet to support isochronous
traffic?
Thanks.
Bill
Attached, please find the list of isochronous requirements for
802.3 RE that were refined in today's impromptu discussion.
Mike Teener
will be providing additional comments to this list.
Comments and
suggestions are welcome.
