Re: [HSSG] 40G MAC Rate Discussion



All,

From discussions I have had, I sense that there may be some confusion regarding the proposal for adding a 40Gb/s MAC rate objecitve.  40 Gb/s has been proposed as an additional MAC rate, not as a replacement for the current objective of 100 Gb/s. 

 

The presentations given have focused on the needs of servers / end stations:

I encourage all to review the above presentations, and use the reflector to further discuss them and / or the proposed objective.  This will help to assist the SG in preparing for the April Interim, as well as making decisions regarding the project’s objectives. 

 

Best Regards,

Subject: [HSSG] 40G MAC Rate Discussion

 

Dear HSSG Members,

As discussed in the action plan pulled together at the end of the plenary week, further discussion on adding a 40G MAC rate as an objective is needed.  Topics of interest include: economic feasibility, broad market potential, and what pmds are desired for this rate.

 

I would like to encourage all to use the reflector for this subject matter, which could assist individuals in their preparations for the interim meeting next month. 

 

Best Regards,

John D’Ambrosia
