You are right Geoff. 100BASE-T4 was 100 Meg combined on a single pair.

No, it was 100 Mb/s on 3 pair. There was one pair dedicated to each direction and 2 pair that were used in the direction of data transmission. It only takes one pair to easily handle the carrier sense information. So the CSMA/CD was done on 1 pair each direction. The data transmission was done on 3 pairs with 8B/6T encoding. See Figs 23-3, 23-4, 23-23. That is why you can't do full duplex on 100BASE-T4.

So this is not that. I am suggesting just like 100BASE-T put 25Meg full duplex on each pair

100BASE-T does not put 25Meg full duplex on each pair.
I assume that you mean that 1000BASE-T puts 25Meg full duplex on each pair. That is not true either. There is no pair specific coding in 1000BASE-T. The coding is spread over all 4 pair at once. The decoder looks at 5 levels on 4 pairs (which yields a code space of 625 points) and derives 1 byte from it (256 code points plus control codes). The excess code space is used to provide more than one possible code target for the subsequent code. Choosing the one that provides the greatest voltage swing generates extra noise immunity.


And,
Barry

you are correct Spectrum compatibility should be dealt with I think it can
be dealt with on 400-500 meter reaches

If the team thinks that there is interest for 100 Meg I'll be happy to send
a short presentation off line to people who are interested

Thanks
Behrooz

In addition, 100BASE-T4 does not support full duplex
