[802-LMSC] IEEE P802.3dt draft PAR and CSD response - Ethernet Metadata Services
Dear IEEE 802 LMSC members,
In support of subclause 9.2 'IEEE 802 LMSC Approval' of the IEEE 802 LMSC Operations Manual, please find below the required information with respect to the IEEE P802.3dt IEEE Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Ethernet Metadata Services PAR for consideration at the November 2025 plenary.
Best regards,

[1] Draft PAR and CSD responses:
Draft PAR: <https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/25/ec-25-0218-00-LMSC-draft-ieee-p802-3dt-par.pdf>
Draft CSD responses: <https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/25/ec-25-0219-00-LMSC-draft-ieee-p802-3dt-csd.pdf>
[2] Explanatory technical background material:
There is an opportunity for IEEE 802.3 to provide the industry with a generic set of interoperable mechanisms for per-packet and packet-independent metadata exchange. This will allow extensions to Ethernet to be defined by future IEEE 802.3 projects or other Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) for new or unforeseen features to meet evolving industry needs while maintaining the interoperability that makes Ethernet ubiquitous.
[3] Status of the development of the PAR:
The draft PAR and CSD responses are pending IEEE 802.3 Working Group approval at the November 2025 plenary.
Since the submission deadline for the December 2025 meeting occurs before the date of the November IEEE 802 EC meeting, I will pre-submit this draft PAR to NesCom on the understanding that:
[a] Any changes to the draft PAR text resulting from the Plenary will be promptly communicated to the NesCom Administrator.
[b] Should the IEEE 802.3 Working Group not approve the submission, it will be removed from the IEEE 802 LMSC and NesCom agenda.
[c] Should the IEEE 802 LMSC not approve the submission, it will be removed from the NesCom agenda.
