[802.3EEESG] 10BASE-T question
Folks,
For those of you who were able to attend the March meeting, you may
recall we had a discussion on 10BASE-T (in the context of having a low
energy state mode) and what we might change to specify this, which
included possibly changing the output voltage. Concern was raised that
the work required to specify a new output voltage for 10BASE-T would far
outweigh the benefit. Additionally, there was a question regarding the
use of 100BASE-TX instead of doing anything with 10BASE-T. Would
someone please explain just how much work it would be to change 10BASE-T
and what the benefit would be compared to using 10BASE-T with the
originally specified voltage or 100BASE-TX for a low energy (aka
"0BASE-T" or "sleep") state?
Thanks,
Mike
