RE: What is 802.3ae WAN-PHY?



Title: RE: What is 802.3ae WAN-PHY?

Osamu,

Our WAN PHY proposal uses the traditional +/-100ppm clock tolerance spec
of Ethernet.  An ELTE would have a matching WAN PHY interface. The SONET
side of the ELTE will have an ITU/ANSI interface. Within the ELTE the clock
domain adaptation is performed using traditional SONET pointer processing.
Previous material has shown this is feasible. Please refer to

for more background. Thank-you.
