The following is the ASCII version of the paper I presented at the 
     IEEE 802.3z Idaho Interim meeting. It summarizes the status of the 
     Fibre Channel Jitter Study Group, aka, Methodology for Jitter 
     Specification (MJS), as it relates to the Gb/s Ethernet physical 
     specification development.
     
     The paper title is, "Methodology for Jitter Specification (MJS) of 1 
     Gb/s Serial Links: Status & Time Schedule", by Del Hanson, 
     Hewlett-Packard Company.
     
     Slide 1: MJS Background & Objectives For 1 Gb/s Serial Links
     
     * MJS Committee Background
       o Study Group was formed in 7/95 under the X3T11 Fibre Channel 
     committee
       o Committee meets monthly; Membership includes:
        - 3 to 4 test equipment and 3 to 4 equipment vendors
        - 5 to 10 "10-bit" Serial/Deserial chip vendors
     
     * MJS Committee Objectives
       o Define robust & interoperable jitter interface specification 
     methodology for Gb/s Ethernet
       o Define reference conformance tests
     
     Slide 2: Proposed MJS Specifications
     
     * Methodology
       o Define rigorous interface specifications without excessively 
     strict jitter parameters
       o Introduce frequency dependent jitter to account for actual 
     component performance
     
     * Point-to-Point Link Interfaces
       o Transmitter jitter & response time template
       o Link dispersion contribution
       o Receiver jitter template supporting the external clock recovery 
     jitter limits
     
     Slide 3: MJS Document Schedule & Recommendations to Gb/s Ethernet
     
     * X3T11 technical report schedule
       o MJS Letter Ballot: 2/97 to 4/97
       o Finish MJS Public Review: 2/98
     
     * Recommended Gb/s Ethernet Leverage
       o Utilize recommended MJS test methods to acquire interface 
     characterization data
       o Monitor MJS until X3T11 Letter Ballot
       o Incorporate MJS point-to-point link text into 208.3z Gb/s Ethernet 
     document in 5/97
