Re: [802.3_400G] Breakout Functionality Objective

[Dale Murray - LightCounting <dale@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There could be much upside and little downside in including such an objective.   Meeting the objective could impact on PMD choices so the objective may need wordsmithing to avoid ruling out a useful PMD proposal that could not support breakout.

Subject: [802.3_400G] Breakout Functinoality Objective

 

All,

Per our call last week, what are the thoughts on the wording of this as a proposed objective –

 

Provide appropriate support for breakout functionality to 40G and / or 100G

 

There was some concern about potential impact or unintended consequences that people wanted to see this wording to discuss further.

 

Regards,

 

John
