The scope of this project is to amend IEEE Std 802.3 to add physical layer specifications and management parameters for point-to-multipoint passive optical networks supporting MAC data rates of 25 Gb/s or 50 Gb/s in the downstream direction and 10 Gb/s, 25 Gb/s, or 50 Gb/s in the upstream direction, with distance and split ratios consistent with those defined in IEEE Std 802.3. It also extends the operation of Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPON) protocols, such as MultiPoint Control… read more Protocol (MPCP) and Operation Administration and Management (OAM). read less
The scope of this project is to specify additions to and appropriate modifications of IEEE Std 802.3 to add 2.5 Gb/s and 5 Gb/s Physical Layer (PHY) specifications and management parameters for operation over backplanes consistent with current storage interconnect applications within a single rack.
