[802.3_4PPOE] My response to comment r05-18 regarding MPS



Hi David and all,

I would like to make r05-18 a TFTD comment.

 

My response to David A proposal:

The quoted text that David showed in Page 223, line 34 states: "Powered PDs that no longer require power, and identify the PSE as Type 3 or Type 4, shall remove the current draw component and may remove the impedance components of the MPS.". certainly, helps but is not sufficient.

 

To remove the current draw component doesn’t mean that the current must be zero since it is not possible to have zero current.

And if this is what we can interpret form the text, this is wrong requirement and impossible to meet.

 

I can interpret that for a PD to ensure disconnect in my example in the comment need to show MPS < (4mA – some margin). This will be the actual field behavior for PSEs to disconnect PDs.

In the PD side, this text reveal new problem that I was not aware of it which is somebody can interpret that PD designs must show zero DC current in order to be disconnected.

 

And last, the proposed response from the comment editor still keep the question open regarding how PD vendor will understand the Irev need to be accounted for if Irev appears only in the PSE section without any clue or link in the PD section.

If David is right and the current should be zero than the presence of Irev will violate it and PD may not be aware of the effect of Irev to MPS. Also, Irev can never set to ZERO. So this interpretation the PD that want to remove power must remove completely the current flow can’t be really implemented so the other interpretation that DC component need to be below what is specified in the PSE section make more send to me.

 

In order to save time in the discussions on Wednesday I suggest modifying the text to:

"Powered PDs that no longer require power, and identify the PSE as Type 3 or Type 4, shall remove the current draw component and may remove the impedance components of the MPS. See 145.2.12, 145.2.10.4, 145.3.8.8".

 

Make sense to you?
