Re: [10GBT] phy parameter list



Sanjay,

Thanks for putting the list together.  I will try to get the list up on
the website by early next week (I'm on the road this week).

Just a note to the Task Force, I am a bit concerned about the lack of
discussion around this material and lack of technical discussions in
general.  For the Task Force to make progress, the reflectors should be
used as much as possible to discuss ideas and concepts.  Please do not
wait until our meetings to bring up issues or concerns, as we should be
using our meeting time to present information that is establishing or
has established consensus (hopefully via the reflector) to build out the
baseline and eventually a completed draft specification for Working
Group ballot.

Thanks,
Brad

Sanjay-

I think it would be helpful to have the values from 1000BASE-T preserved
on
the spreadsheet as a basis for comparison.

Thanks

Geoff
