Title: Q: Jan 15-17 meeting

Rob,

 

Thanks. I was trying to get the logistics. Here is what I read from your comments

For us to complete the standard there are many sections and sub sections to be written.

Before that can be done there are many proposal to evaluate.

Before that can be done there are the objectives and scope.

 

I propose a framework and then identify the scope and objectives....

 

Network

    single Ring

    Interconnected Rings

        Bridges and router

MAC Layer

    Data path function

        forwarding

        filtering

        error correction/detection

    Control Plane

       

    header definition

        network size

        header field definition

            customer separation

        header bit definition

    L2 functions

        Node discovery

        Fairness

        L3 interface

    L1 management I/F

        L1 control

        L1 Interfaces

            Generic Packet interface

            SONET

            SDH

            Gigabit Ethernet

            DWDM

            Digital Wrapper

 

Network Applications

    Ring interconnect

    Transparent LAN Service

    ISP

Harry, here is my 2¢ on this one: I would expect us to continue to refine our detailed scope and objectives, going much further than the PAR input.  I anticipate that 802.17 will be doing a significant amount of voting at the March plenary meeting, some of which will be establishing things like objectives.  Hopefully a great deal of the work will have been done ahead of time, including at the upcoming meeting, and via email discussion. All of this work should fundamentally build on what the Study Group has previously decided, even though the Study Group's output is not binding on the decisions of the Working Group. 

 

I don't know how much time will be available at the January interim meeting to address the issue of refinement of the Scope and Objectives.  If there is time, I think the topic will fit well with the meeting's overall  focus.

 

Best regards,

mike:

Are you gathering scope an objectives to help defining the tasks in the schedule to complete the standard?
Some of the scope were discussed in previous meetings. Now that we are a WG are we recapturing and additional detail scope

and objectives as confined in the PAR and 5 Criteria?

Regards,

Harry
