Scope - Previous Projects

P802.3ah: Define 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC)

parameters and minimal augmentation of the MAC

operation, physical layer specifications, and

management parameters for the transfer of 802.3

format frames in subscriber access networks at

operating speeds within the scope of the current IEEE

Std 802.3 and approved new projects P802.3av: The scope of this project is to amend IEEE

Std 802.3 to add physical layer specifications and

management parameters for symmetric and/or

asymmetric operation at 10 Gb/s on point-to-

multipoint passive optical networks.

Purpose - Previous Project

802.3ah: To expand the application of Ethernet

to include subscriber access networks in order to

provide a significant increase in performance

while minimizing equipment, operation, and

maintenance costs 802.3av: The purpose of this document is to

significantly increase performance of point-to-

multipoint architecture (Ethernet Passive Optical

Network) to support emerging bandwidth-

intensive services while considering equipment,

operation, upgrade, and maintenance costs.

Need - Previous Project

802.3av: The project is applicable to subscriber

access, back-haul, and multi-dwelling unit

environments. The project is needed to enable

telecommunications operators and multiple

system operators to provide advanced

bandwidth-intensive services, such as high-

definition television, while: reducing footprint

and power consumption of central office

equipment; minimizing service upgrade cost; and

minimizing fiber deployment costs.

Proposal

Scope: The scope of this project is to amend IEEE Std 802.3

to add physical layer specifications and management

parameters for symmetric and/or asymmetric operation at

least 25 Gb/s and at least 40 Gb/s MAC data rate on point-to-

multipoint passive optical networks. This project will also

define an extensible architecture that will support future

higher MAC data rates of at least 100 Gb/s for Ethernet

Passive Optical Networks.

Purpose: The purpose of this document is to significantly

increase performance of point-to-multipoint architecture

(Ethernet Passive Optical Network) to support emerging

bandwidth-intensive services while considering equipment,

operation, upgrade, and maintenance costs.

Proposal

Need for Project: The project is most

applicable to business access, mobile back-haul,

and multi-dwelling unit environments. The

project is needed to enable telecommunications

operators and multiple system operators to

provide advanced bandwidth-intensive services

while: reducing footprint and power

consumption of central office equipment;

simplifying service upgrades and minimizing

upgrade cost; and minimizing fiber deployment

costs.
