Re: Unified PMD vs. Unified PHY
Tom,
A few minor corrections:
Hari was introduced by Mr. Howard Frazier in July in Montreal as the Serial 10
GMII. It's been around a while.
There is no SLP proposal that addresses multi-lane operation that I'm aware of.
You'd better hurry up with that one.
Best Regards,
Rich
