RE: delay constraints from XGMII to XAUI
As a system implementer, how do I improve the probability of buying parts
from different vendors to build my system with confidence that the total
delay will have been allocated by each vendor independently and that my
system will still meet the total delay requirement?
If you feel strongly about this though, you should submit a ballot comment.

Hi,
I think that the standard should constraint only the total delay from the
MDI to the XGMII, and leave internal partitioning to implementation.
