[802.3ae] FW: Apparent Inconsistencies in P802.3ae D3.1
Here is Mike Heard's comments to Roy's question.
(My personal observation would be that it looks like a G1 content and not
only format issue)

I'm sorry, but I'm confused by this question. There is only one
format for G1 specified for the WIS --
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
REI-P ERDI-P not used
There is an alternate format for SONET (one-bit RDI, signalled in
bit 5 of G1, with bits 6 and 7 not used), but that's not used by
the WIS.

Succintly, the problem is that one remote defect code -- 101 in
bits 5, 6, 7 -- is shared to report all kinds or remote server
defects, i.e., AIS-P and LOP-P. However, aFarEndPathStatus and
the 10G WIS Status 3 register have separate bits for remote AIS-P
and remote LOP-P. There is insufficient information available to
the receiver to figure out which bit to set.
I hope this helps.
