[802.3_DWDM] IEEE P802.3ct/D2.1 100 Gb/s over DWDM systems Working Group 1st recirculation ballot



Dear Task Force Participants,

 

With this e-mail, I'd like to announce the start of the IEEE P802.3ct/D2.1 100 Gb/s over DWDM systems Working Group 1st recirculation ballot.

 

Open date: Thursday 13th August 2020

Close date: Friday 28th August 2020 23:59 AOE

 

As stated in the attached announcement, the ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Thursday 21st May 2020. 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 P802.3ct 100 Gb/s over DWDM systems Task Force

Subject: +++ 802.3 WG 1st RECIRCULATION BALLOT: IEEE P802.3ct 100 Gb/s over DWDM systems D2.1 ballot

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

This is the announcement of the electronic IEEE 802.3 Working Group 1st recirculation ballot on the amendment IEEE P802.3ct 100 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 Thursday 21st May 2020.

 

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 1st recirculation ballot, the scope of the ballot is the substantive changes between IEEE P802.3ct/D2.0 and IEEE P802.3ct/D2.1 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 <http://ieee802.org/3/ct/ProjDoc/ec-18-0249-01-ACSD-p802-3ct.pdf>. An Approve vote indicates your agreement that the draft is consistent with the CSD responses.

 

BALLOT OPEN:

Thursday 13th August 2020

 

BALLOT CLOSE:

Friday 28th August 2020 23:59 AOE

 

The Project Authorization Request for this amendment is available at <http://ieee802.org/3/ct/ProjDoc/P802.3ct_200215.pdf> and includes the following:

 

TITLE:

Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Physical Layers and Management Parameters for 100 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 100 Gb/s at reaches greater than 10 km over DWDM systems.

 

NEED FOR THE PROJECT:

Optical solutions targeting 100 Gb/s operation at reaches in excess of 10 km over a DWDM system will address the bandwidth growth and reach requirements of Cable/MSO (multiple system operator) distribution networks, and mobile backhaul networks 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.

HOW TO SUBMIT COMMENTS

 

Acceptable comment types:

 

E = Editorial

ER = Editorial Required (a binding comment that is part of a DISAPPROVE vote, therefore only appropriate for an IEEE 802.3 voting member) T = Technical TR = Technical Required (a binding comment that is part of a DISAPPROVE vote, therefore only appropriate for an IEEE 802.3 voting member)

 

1. Prepare your comments in one of the following three ways. You are STRONGLY REQUESTED to use the comment spreadsheet.

 

The RevCom guidelines for commenting on a draft standard is available at <https://standards.ieee.org/content/dam/ieee-standards/standards/web/governance/revcom/Guidelines_for_commenting_on-draft_standards.pdf>.

A comment entry tutorial is available at <http://ieee802.org/3/ballots/p802d3_comment_entry_tutorial_v1p0.pdf>.

 

a. Access the comment spreadsheet at the URL:

 

<http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/spreadsheet/802d3_TFR_WGB_comments.xls>

 

b. Access the comment tool at the URL:

 

<http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/filemaker/Generic_Commenting_Tool_FM.zip>

 

To use the tool, extract all components into a folder and do not move any component from that folder as this will cause the executable to not work correctly. The tool is:

 

Comment_Tool_Generic_Solution.exe

 

c. To submit comments in text (ASCII) form, please use the form below. This will make it possible for the editor to properly record and track all submissions. Make as many copies of the template as necessary and submit as an ASCII text file or as part of your e-mail.

 

PLEASE NOTE: The ASCII method involves a manual transcription, hence you are recommended to check your comments to ensure accurate transcription when the comment file is made available. Please use one of the comment tools above if possible.
