[802-LMSC] PAR Review Comment Responses for P802.3dq - Amendment - Pin-Optimized PHY Interfaces, PAR and CSD



The P802.3dq Study Group received PAR and CSD comments from 802.1 and 802.11. We are grateful for the working groups' careful review and feedback.

The revised documents as moved forward by the study group during our meeting today are available here:

PAR
Scope 5.2.b
Suggest removing “may” and reword to "Each interface supports... and a multiport PHY as applicable".

Accepted in principle. The word "may" was removed as the SG found the word was not actually needed.
CSD
Overall
Suggest using the latest template document for the CSD
https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/18/ec-18-0064-02-0PNP-csd- template-in-doc-format.doc

The 802.3 operations manual mandates additions to the IEEE 802 CSD, but those additions do not appear in the IEEE 802 CSD doc file. We have requested that WG leadership consider moving to the Word doc format for future CSD submissions.
CSD

Suggest rewording "and counts that" in the first sentence to      "and counts than"
Accepted.
CSD
Page 8
End of Bullet point two “such as RMII, RGMII, SGMII, etc.”, etc.   is superfluous in addition to “such as”, suggest removing “etc.”
Accepted.

2.1
Suggest changing “a Pin” to “an”. The use of Pin in the Title, but it is not in the scope of the project.  Pin should be used in both the Title and the Scope.
Another alternative: The title could also incorporate “optimized for exposed interconnects.”.

Accepted.
PAR
5.5
There is a list of PHYs: 10BASE-T1L, 10BASE-T1S, proposed 100BASE-T1L, proposed 10BASE-T1M. Each of the standards behind them should be listed in 8.1.  This would give insight into 802.3 for the reader.

Accepted in principal. The list of PHYs was struck as the intent is for this project to work with a large number of PHYs.

CSD
Distinct Identity
The use of “8 pins” may be better redescribed in terms of “optimized exposed interconnects”, or interconnection points or electrical contacts.

Accepted in principal. The Study Group agreed to change the term "pins" to "signals."
CSD
Economic Feasibility
Expand the first use of Acronyms: RMII, RGMII, SGMII, GMII, or XAUI.
Accepted. Please note that XAUI as it appears in 802.3 is not a traditional acronym as the X expands to "10 gigabit."
