Re: Link Model
Jonathan,
I spent some time researching the IEEE 802.3z presentation material and found a
wealth of documentation online which is available for those individuals
interested in researching the history of the GbE link model. Here's my
handy-dandy list:
1) 1.25 GBAUD, 550 m, BUILDING BACKBONE LINKS ON INSTALLED 62.5 MULTIMODE FIBRE
FOR IEEE 802.3:

http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/3/z/public/presentations/july1996/DClwprop.pdf
2) Some Restricted Mode Launch (RML) Results
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/3/z/public/presentations/nov1996/dc_rml.pdf
3) Long Wavelength Laser MMF Links: 50MMF results

4) Review of Hewlett-Packard Proposal: Long Wavelength Laser-Based Fiber Optic
Links

5) Chromatic Dispersion Limited Link Lengths for SWL and LWL Fiber Systems

6) Proposed Worst Case Link Model for Optical Physical Media Dependent
Specification Development.

7) The effects of dirty connectors on laser based MMF links

8) Experimental verification of worst case optical link model
