Re: [802.3_EPOC] Action item for September 2012 meeting (draft structure)



Marek,
Thank you for being so proactive on this important task. However, I think we should not get to far down this path nor should we make too many assumptions and those we make should be clearly stated. Quite often you seem to be doing this but not in all cases. For example you have obviously assumed that the PMD at the CLT is different from the PMD at the CNU. Others have clearly stated that these may in fact be identical. We need to be careful here that the outline does not set us on a particular technical path; and that anyone reading this outline is clearly aware that no technical decisions have yet been made.
A few very minor comments:
95.6 probably will not discuss optical parameters, likewise the list of parameters in this section are probably misleading at this point.
95.7.2	RF safety - do you really think the RF levels we will be dealing with pose a safety risk? I've stood within 50-100' from a high power long range air search radar without any obvious negative effects, I don't think the RF levels we would produce will be a risk. In this vane I think grounding and lightning will be issues we might need to consider in this clause. Traditional Ethernet copper interfaces have never been exposed to lightning, perhaps we can borrow something from the EFM copper clauses but a quick scan didn't reveal anything useful.
95.8 - Shouldn't this be an annex? I don' think this will contain any normative requirements but only describes the channel under which we defined the standard.
96.2.3 - most of this will be references yes?
96.3.2.2/96.3.3.6	64B/66B Encode/Decode? Really? On what are you basing this decision?

Best Regards,
Duane

Subject: [802.3_EPOC] Action item for September 2012 meeting (draft structure)

Dear colleagues, 

Following the action item I took during July's plenary, I am sharing with you the first look at the draft structure for EPoC, following closely on my contribution hajduczenia_01_0712.pdf.  

Please note that it is a very preliminary proposal for the future document structure and by no means final. I attempted to emulate existing 10G-EPON clause structure as close as possible, while avoiding going into details of how specific functions are implemented. We will have enough time to deal with that later on.  

Please let me know if you have any specific suggestions of changes or just comments. I will try to keep the document updated based on received feedback. 

Regards

Marek
