[802.3_25GSMF] IEEE P802.3cc/D2.0 25 Gb/s Ethernet over Single-Mode Fiber Working Group initial ballot



Dear Task Force Participants,

 

With this e-mail, I'd like to announce the start of the IEEE P802.3cc/D2.0 25 Gb/s Ethernet over Single-Mode Fiber Working Group initial ballot.

 

Open date: Tuesday 29th November 2016

Close date: Wednesday 28th December 2016 23:59 AOE

 

As stated in the attached announcement, the ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Friday 11th November 2016. All comments received before the close of ballot will be considered, the one limitation however is that if you are not a member of the balloting group, and therefore cannot cast a ballot, you cannot designate comments as TR or ER since you cannot cast a Disapprove ballot.

 

Best regards,

David Lewis

Chair, IEEE P802.3cc 25 Gb/s Ethernet over Single-Mode Fiber Task Force

The Project Authorization Request for this Amendment is available at <http://ieee802.org/3/cc/P802.3cc.pdf> and includes the following:

 

TITLE:

Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Physical Layer and Management Parameters for Serial 25 Gb/s Ethernet Operation Over Single-Mode Fiber

 

SCOPE OF PROJECT:

The scope of this project is to add point-to-point single-mode fiber Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) options for serial 25 Gb/s operation at reaches greater than 100 m by specifying additions to, and appropriate modifications of, IEEE Std 802.3.

 

NEED FOR THE PROJECT:

The project is needed to provide multiple system operators and telecommunications operators with an IEEE 802.3 25 Gb/s Ethernet serial interconnect solution at reaches greater than 100 meters using single-mode fiber (SMF) for application areas including enterprise campus, carrier metro and other similar areas.

 

Thank you for your participation in this ballot and careful review of the draft.

Acceptable comment types:

 

E = Editorial

ER = Editorial Required (a binding comment that is part of a DISAPPROVE vote, therefore only appropriate for an IEEE 802.3 voting member) T = Technical TR = Technical Required (a binding comment that is part of a DISAPPROVE vote, therefore only appropriate for an IEEE 802.3 voting member)

 

1. Prepare your comments in one of the following three ways. You are STRONGLY REQUESTED to use either the comment tool or spreadsheet. A comment entry tutorial is available at:

 

<http://ieee802.org/3/ballots/p802d3_comment_entry_tutorial_v1p0.pdf>

 

a. Access the comment tool at the URL (last updated 16th September 2015):

 

<http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/filemaker/Generic_Commenting_Tool_FM.zip>

 

To use the tool, extract all components into a folder and do not move any component from that folder as this will cause the executable to not work correctly. The tool is:

 

Comment_Tool_Generic_Solution.exe

 

b. Access the comment spreadsheet at the URL:

 

<http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/spreadsheet/802d3_TFR_WGB_comments.xls>

 

c. To submit comments in text (ASCII) form, please use the form below. This will make it possible for the editor to properly record and track all submissions. Make as many copies of the template as necessary and submit as an ASCII text file or as part of your e-mail.
