Re: [RE] Preliminary report, 802.1 liason

Title:

John:
While I agree with your statement in principal I trust that you are not proposing "Res A".  No consumer company that I know will swallow that and I have to believe that you can't either.
What you do highlight though is that we absolutely need is changes to existing 802.3 to support these new home focused applications.
FYI, I am sitting right now in the DSL Forum meeting where the topic is DSL Ethernet migration.  At this moment, heavily deployed ATM carrier Deutsch Telecom is describing how they are moving to EtherSLAMs.  5 years from now, there will be little ATM left in the broadband access connections to residents world wide.
Therefore who do you see will need ATMoE to the residence?
advise,
Richard Brand

Dirceu Cavendish will give us a final report on Friday.)

There was a good two hour session starting about 1600 on May 9 at the 802.1
Interim in Berlin. Much of it consisted of the presentation available at
http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2005/liaison-mikejt-rese-objectives-requirements-0505.pdf and the resulting discussion.

Anyway, there¹s lots of work to do
    

As I read through Michael's report I kept thinking that all the problems it raises are already solved in ATM, and hence AES47. And Project AES-X143 (Transmission of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) over an Ethernet physical layer) provides the mechanism for using it with Ethernet hardware.

These issues will be discussed at the meeting of SC-02-02 in Barcelona on May 26th; see http://www.aes.org/standards/b_meetings/ for details.
