[STDS-802-3-25G] Question about Table 45-210 EEE advertisement and Table 45-211 EEE LP ability



I was in the process of reviewing the draft and noticed that in 45.2.7.13 and 14 that we're exchanging the ability to support deep sleep for 25G, but that we separate out the advertisement/ability based upon KR/CR and KR-S/CR-S.

Is it really necessary to separate them?

Would someone build a PHY that does KR and KR-S but only provide deep sleep for one of the operating modes?

The reason I'm asking is that we're burning through the last two bits in register 7.61 at the same time folks are talking about doing a 50G project.

Any thoughts or feedback on that?

I'm willing to submit a comment on it, but I thought I'd gauge the sense of the reflector first.

Thanks,
Brad
