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.
