It presents common Ethernet implementations in service- provider networks, the testing requirements to ensure reliable service, as well as installation and maintenance techniques. Following its introduction in the early 1970s, the Ethernet protocol for data networking has been characterized by ever-increasing popularity and adaptation. In recent years, Ethernet has become the predominant network access protocol, now used in over 95% of all local-area networks. With the advent of Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, this technology has matured and made its way from local-area networks to metropolitan-area networks, and now wide-area networks, challenging traditional transport protocols such as SONET/SDH and ATM. www.exfo.com Guide Ethernet.1-ang: Guide Ethernet.1AN 5/7/07 10:06 AM Page 1 Table of Contents 2.7 Ethernet Frame Tag ..............................................................................23 2.8 VLAN Tagging........................................................................................23 Symbols Used in Illustrations................................................3 2.9 Traffic Priority ........................................................................................25 2.10 Frame Bursting ......................................................................................26 1.

    IEEE Standard for Ethernet IEEE Computer Society Sponsored by the LAN/MAN Standards Committee IEEE 3 Park Avenue IEEE Std 802.3™-2012 New York, NY 10016-5997 (Revision of USA IEEE Std 802.3-2008) 28 December 2012 IEEE Std 802.3™-2012 (Revision of IEEE Std 802.3-2008) IEEE Standard for Ethernet Sponsor LAN/MAN Standards Committee of the IEEE Computer Society Approved 30 August 2012 IEEE-SA Standard Board Abstract: Ethernet local area network operation is specified for selected speeds of operation from 1 Mb/s to 100 Gb/s using a common media access control (MAC) specification and management information base (MIB). The Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) MAC protocol specifies shared medium (half duplex) operation, as well as full duplex operation. Speed specific Media Independent Interfaces (MIIs) allow use of selected Physical Layer devices (PHY) for operation over coaxial, twisted-pair or fiber optic cables. System considerations for multisegment shared access networks describe the use of Repeaters that are defined for operational speeds up to 1000 Mb/s. Local Area Network (LAN) operation is supported at all speeds. Other specified capabilities include various PHY types for access networks, PHYs suitable for metropolitan area network applications, and the provision of power over selected twisted-pair PHY types.

BASE-R • Baseline is close to 802.3bv (BASE-H) in the transmit frame structure and PMA • However, very different in the PCS: PAM2 vs. PAM16, RS-FEC vs. MLCC, no THP • PMD baseline will have to be consistent with automotive reliability levels, with an MDI supporting automotive mechanical and environmental requirements, as well as a much wider temperature range of operation • Definitively, we have a very distinct PHY that should use different letters to designate the PHY type name IEEE 802.3cz Task Force - Nov 2020
