Re: Conference call
Walt,
I attended the conference call... duhhhhh
I also wanted to point out that my early note to the speed reflector did point
out the proposed copper 2.5 Gbps rate.
I believe that the proper handling of this issue is to acknowledge it, and very
brief discussion of "throttling" ~10 GbE down to lower data rates (e.g. ~2.5,
5.0, and 7.5). Having acknowledged it and noting that the audience was heavily
biased towards addressing the 10 and ~10/SONET/SDH issue, the group decided to
focus on the latter issue.
