Re: [EFM] Finally There



[Date: 03/12/2002  From Seto]

Francois,

Good point.  I could agree with you if Preamble OAM did not 
require amendments to existing 1000BASE-X PCS implementation.  
If we adopt preamble OAM, all the existing 1000BASE-X MAC/PCS 
(usually they are one) will be incompatible with IEEE802.3.  
(See p.20 on suzuki_2_0302.pdf.)
