[STDS-802-3-EPOC] Additional Eval Criteria item to support ToD (time of day) delivery for Mobile Backhaul
Hi Steve,
Related to the Eval criteria delay items that we currently have in the 
Eval Criteria table, I don't think this will adequately capture an Eval 
criteria that will meet the needs of Moble BackHaul synchronization for 
EPoC.  I'd like to suggest adding the following additional Eval Criteria 
item, based on my EPoC Synchronization transport presentation from the 
Phoenix meeting:
Design  to support a time transfer error performance of +/-120 ns or 
less from the CLT MAC/PLS to the CNU MAC/PLS
There are a  number of ways this can be met:
- Fixed & equal delay from MAC/PLS to the Medium and the Medium to 
MAC/PLS   (but a not likely case)
- Equal TX / RX delay to/from the MAC/PLS interface to/from the medium
- Reportable time delay across the PHY layers to a known level of 
precision in each direction
    (may depend on configured OFDM, FEC, and interleaving configured 
parameters)
- Others?
I'm open to adjusting this number - up or down (preferable)  as we move 
forward with choices of PHY parameters and reference models.  Our 
competition (GPON, DOCSIS, P2P Ethernet) is currently doing much better 
than this performance level.
Comments welcome...
Regards,
Bill
