[802.3_DWDM] IEEE P802.3cw/D2.4 400 Gb/s over DWDM Systems Working Group 4th recirculation ballot
Dear Task Force Participants,
With this e-mail, I'd like to announce the start of the IEEE P802.3cw/D2.4
400 Gb/s over DWDM Systems Working Group 4th recirculation ballot.
Open date: Friday 1st September 2023
Close date: Saturday 16th September 2023 23:59 AOE
As stated in the announcement below, the ballot group for this draft is the
IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Sunday 17th July 2022. All comments
received before the close of ballot will be considered, the one limitation
however is that if you are not a member of the balloting group, and
therefore cannot cast a ballot, you cannot designate comments as TR or ER
since you cannot cast a Disapprove ballot.
Best regards,
John D'Ambrosia
Chair, IEEE P802.3cw 400 Gb/s over DWDM Systems Task Force
-----
Dear Colleagues,
This is the announcement of the electronic IEEE 802.3 Working Group 4th
recirculation ballot on the Amendment IEEE P802.3cw 400 Gb/s over DWDM
Systems. Remember that voting, as well as attendance, is a requirement to
maintain your IEEE 802.3 member (voter) status
<http://ieee802.org/3/rules/member.html#DOT3>. Instructions for accessing
the draft, casting your ballot and submitting comments follow this
announcement. Please review the commenting instructions below to ensure you
are using the most up to date tools.
The ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of
Sunday 17th July 2022.
Because this is a recirculation ballot, YOU ONLY NEED TO CAST A BALLOT IF
YOU WISH TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE FROM THAT WHICH WAS RECORDED ON THE INITIAL
BALLOT OR LAST RECIRCULATION. If you voted previously and your vote has not
changed, the last ballot cast will be carried over to this ballot and you do
not need to cast a new ballot.
BALLOT SCOPE:
During this IEEE 802.3 Working Group 4th recirculation ballot, the scope of
the ballot is the substantive changes between IEEE P802.3cw/D2.3 and IEEE
P802.3cw/D2.4 and the unsatisfied negative comments.
CRITERIA FOR STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT:
One of the responsibilities as a balloter is to ensure that draft is
consistent with the criteria for standards development (CSD) responses which
are available at
<https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/19/ec-19-0219-00-ACSD-p802-3cw.pdf>. An
Approve vote indicates your agreement that the draft is consistent with the
CSD responses.
BALLOT OPEN:
Friday 1st September 2023
BALLOT CLOSE:
Saturday 16th September 2023 23:59 AOE
The Project Authorization Request for this Amendment is available at
<https://ieee802.org/3/cw/proj_doc/P802d3cw_PAR.pdf> and includes the
following:
TITLE:
Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Physical Layers and Management Parameters
for 400 Gb/s Operation over DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing)
systems
SCOPE OF PROJECT:
Define physical layer specifications and management parameters for the
transfer of Ethernet format frames at 400 Gb/s at reaches greater than 10 km
over DWDM systems.
NEED FOR THE PROJECT:
Optical solutions targeting 400 Gb/s operation at reaches in excess of 10 km
over a DWDM system will address the bandwidth growth and reach requirements
of interconnect for distributed data centers where reaches greater than 10
km are required, or where fiber availability drives the need for multiple
instances of Ethernet over a DWDM system.
Thank you for your participation in this ballot and careful review of the
draft.
