IEEE P802.3ae 10G Ethernet 10 ClauseClause InformationInformation l Clause 43 taken by P802.3ad (Link Aggregation) l P802.3af (DTE Power via MDI) may impact clause numbering l Number of PCS’s, PMA’s and PMD’s will impact clause numbering
IEEE P802.3ae 10G Ethernet 11 NewNew ClausesClauses l Clause 44 - Introduction to 10 Gb/s baseband network l Clause 45 - Reconciliation Sublayer & 10G MII (XGMII) l Clause 46 - XGMII Extender Sublayer (XGXS) l Clause 47 - Physical coding sublayer (PCS)
IEEE P802.3ae 10G Ethernet 12 NewNew ClausesClauses (cont.)(cont.) l Clause 48 - Physical medium attachment (PMA) sublayer l Clause 49 - PMD #1 l Clause 50 - PMD #2 l Clause 51 - PMD #3
IEEE P802.3ae 10G Ethernet 13 P802.3aeP802.3ae IssuesIssues l WAN/LAN PHY (PCS & PMA) – PCS and PMA clauses may cover both variations – Is this possible? (Coding schemes) – Common ground? (Scrambler, SERDES, etc.) l PMD’s – Goal: to shorten list to a maximum of 3
IEEE P802.3ae 10G Ethernet 14 XGMIIXGMII ExtenderExtender (Clause(Clause 46)46) l XGXS = XGMII Extender Sublayer – Uses coding to increase reach of XGMII l XAUI = 10 Gigabit Attachment Unit Interface l Based on HARI proposal
IEEE P802.3ae 10G Ethernet 15 XGXSXGXS HighlightsHighlights l Increased reach – XGMII is ~3” (~7 cm) – XAUI is ~20” (~50 cm) l Lower connection count – XGMII is 74 wires (2 sets of 32 data, 4 control & 1 clock) – XAUI is 16 wires (2 sets of 4 differential pairs)
