[802SEC] IEEE 802.3 PARs and five criteria for consideration at November 2008 plenary
Dear EC members,
In support of the 30 day rule, please find the following five items for
consideration at the November 2008 plenary.
[1] IEEE P802.3.1 Standard for Management Information Base (MIB)
definitions for Ethernet PAR to NesCom
[2] IEEE P802.3-2008/Cor 1 (IEEE 802.3bb) Corrigendum 1 Timing
considerations for PAUSE operation PAR to NesCom
[3] IEEE P802.3bc Amendment: Ethernet Organizationally Specific TLVs PAR
to NesCom
[4a] IEEE P802.3at DTE Power Via MDI Enhancements, modification to
Existing Approved PAR to NesCom
[4b] IEEE P802.3at DTE Power Via MDI Enhancements, update of five criteria
responses
Further details for each of these items can be found below.
Best regards,
David Law
[1] IEEE P802.3.1 Standard for Management Information Base (MIB)
definitions for Ethernet (submitted as a PAR for new work with large
maintenance item)
The IETF formerly created and published Ethernet SNMP MIB module
specifications. The IETF decided some time ago to not create or publish
any future updates to these MIB modules. The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working
Group has decided to take on this task. This standard will include the MIB
modules formerly produced and published by the IETF, as well as extensions
resulting from recent amendments to IEEE Std 802.3.
Draft PAR [ http://www.ieee802.org/3/maint/public/par_draft_p80231.pdf ].
Draft 5C [ http://www.ieee802.org/3/maint/public/frazier_2_0908.pdf ].
These PAR and 5C drafts are pending IEEE 802.3 Working Group approval at
the November Plenary.
==========
[2] IEEE P802.3-2008/Cor 1 (IEEE 802.3bb) Corrigendum 1 Timing
considerations for PAUSE operation (submitted as a Maintenance PAR)
This Corrigendum is to correct the PAUSE reaction delay value specified in
IEEE Std 802.3 so that it is sufficient for the delay of newer IEEE Std
802.3 PHY types.
Draft PAR [ http://www.ieee802.org/3/maint/public/par_draft_p8023bb.pdf ].
Draft 5C [ None required, PAR to correct error ].
This draft PAR is pending IEEE 802.3 Working Group approval at the
November Plenary.
==========
[3] IEEE P802.3bc Amendment: Ethernet Organizationally Specific TLVs (
submitted as a Maintenance PAR to move material from IEEE 802.1AB to IEEE
802.3).
The IEEE 802.3 Organizationally Specific TLVs are currently specified in
IEEE Std 802.1AB. This amendment will be limited to the transfer of these
TLVs from IEEE Std 802.1AB to IEEE Std 802.3. The development of future
the IEEE 802.3 Organizationally Specific TLVs is more appropriate to
specific amendment projects of the IEEE 802.3 standard.
Draft PAR [ http://www.ieee802.org/3/maint/public/par_draft_p8023bc.pdf ].
Draft 5C [ None required, PAR introduces no new functionality ].
This draft PAR is pending IEEE 802.3 Working Group approval at the
November Plenary.
==========
[4a] IEEE P802.3at DTE Power Via MDI Enhancements, modification to
Existing Approved PAR
This modified PAR is to update the IEEE P802.3at amendment to be
contingent on the IEEE P802.3bc amendment. The IEEE P802.3at is the first
project scheduled to contain additions to the IEEE 802.3 Organizationally
Specific TLVs which are being transferred from IEEE Std 802.1AB to IEEE
Std 802.3 by IEEE P802.3bc. During this modification the opportunity was
taken to: [1] Update target dates for initial sponsor ballot and
submission to RevCom. [2] Remove the intent to submit the amendment for
adoption by ISO/IEC JTC1, as part of ISO/IEC 8802-3. [3] Added the
approximate number of people expected to work on the project, this
question was not present on the original PAR. [4] Added the stake holders,
this question was not present on the original PAR.
Draft modified PAR [ http://www.ieee802.org/3/at/802d3at_modified_PAR.pdf
]
Draft 5C [ None required, PAR introduces no new functionality ].
This draft PAR is pending IEEE 802.3 Working Group approval at the
November Plenary.
==========
[4b] IEEE P802.3at DTE Power Via MDI Enhancements, update of five criteria
responses
The second paragraph of subclause 7.2.1 'Function' of the IEEE Project 802
LMSC P&P states:
The WG should periodically review and confirm that the five criteria used
to approve its PAR still reflect the state of the project. Should a WG
need to modify the responses to the five criteria during development in
order to accurately reflect the state of the project, the modified
responses shall be submitted to the EC for approval.
In accordance with this the IEEE P802.3at Task Force has updated their
Distinct Identity response of the five criteria. This updates the maximum
power that can be supplied to the PD to what has been found to be
appropriate during the development of this project. Absent of further
process guidance I will follow the timeline found in subclause 17.2 'LMSC
Approval'. Based on this the updated Distinct Identity response for IEEE
P802.3at DTE Power via MDI Enhancements, with the change marked, can be
found at the URL -[
http://www.ieee802.org/3/at/802d3at_distinct_identity_change.pdf].
This draft change is pending IEEE 802.3 Working Group approval at the
November Plenary.
