Re: [RPRWG] PHY independence
Ti-Shiang,
in theory RPR will run over many PHY layers as it is media independant. That being said
for every PHY layer a reconcilliation will be required. Our first PHYs will be
SONET/SDH and 1GE and 10GE.
I am aware of fiber, microware and copper medias are possible for some of the
Layer 1 technologies shown above.
