Subject: [802SEC] 802.3ar PAR
Colleagues:
In response to comments from a member of NesCom and
comments from 802.17 and 802.1, two changes to the P802.3ar draft PAR have
been adopted by the Task Force.
A member of NesCom asked for clarification on what
a MAC parameter was, through email exchange, expanding the acronym in the
scope statement is sufficient, so the CMSG accepted:
Change
the first occurrence of "MAC" in the scope statement to "Media Access Control
(MAC)".
In response to comments from other WGs, additional
changes to item 13 were adopted:
Change
the "Completion of this document contingent?" answer to "Yes" and add the
following explanation:
This PAR
includes work on independent capabilities, and some of the work is not
contingent on another project. This PAR is being launched to match the
anticipated completion of work to be done within 802.1. The complete
capabilities and benefits envisioned in Ethernet networks through Congestion
Management capabilities will include both 802.3 and 802.1 work.
Serialization of the projects would unnecessarily delay market introduction of
the capabilities. If 802.1 work is not completed for the cooperative
efforts or the progress would unnecessarily delay either the non-dependent or
dependent capabilities also included in this PAR, the work will be split into
two PARs.
The changes are included in the attached draft
PAR.
