Std 802.3ae-2002 AMENDMENT TO IEEE Std 802.3

Copyright © 2002 IEEE. All rights reserved.
Change definition 1.4.89 to read as follows:
1.4.89 compatibility interfaces:
The Medium Dependent Interf
ace (MDI) cable, the Attachment Unit Inter-
face (AUI) branch cable, and the Media Independent Interface (MII); the three points at which hardware
compatibility is defined to allow connection of independently designed and manufactured components to a
baseband transmission medium. (See IEEE 802.3 Clause 8.) Several hardware points of attachment have
been defined by this standard to allow connection of independently designed and manufactured components
to the transmission medium. See 1.1.2.2.
Insert the following definitions at the end of 1.4. These definitions will be renumbered in alphabetic order
in a future edition of this standard, placed in the proper sequence with other definitions.
1.4.xxx
10 Gigabit Attachment Unit Interface (XAUI):
The interface between two 10 Gigabit Extender
Sublayers (XGXS) to extend the reach of the XGMII for 10 Gb/s operation. (See IEEE 802.3 Clause 47.)
1.4.xxx
10 Gigabit Media Independent Interface (XGMII):
The interface between the Reconciliation
Sublayer (RS) and the Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) for 10 Gb/s operation. (See IEEE 802.3 Clause 46.)
1.4.xxx
10 Gigabit Sixteen-Bit Interface (XSBI):
The interface between the Physical Coding Sublayer
(PCS) in 10GBASE-R or the WAN Interface Sublayer (WIS) in 10GBASE-W and the Physical Medium
Attachment (PMA) sublayer for 10 Gb/s operation. (See IEEE 802.3 Clause 51.)
1.4.xxx
anomaly:
A discrepanc
y between the actual and desired characteristics of an item. This definition is
derived from ANSI T1.416-1999 and ANSI T1.105-1995, which take precedence.
1.4.xxx
bit interleaved parity N (BIP-N):
A method of error monitoring using even (or odd) parity, such
that an N-bit codeword is generated over a specified portion of an input data stream in such a manner that the
i-th bit of the codeword provides even (or odd) parity over the i-th bit of all N-bit sequences in the covered
portion of the data stream. This definition is derived from ANSI T1.416-1999 and ANSI T1.105-1995, which
take precedence.
1.4.xxx
container:
An SDH term that is equivalent to the payload capacity of a synchronous payload enve-
lope. This definition is derived from ANSI T1.416-1999 and ANSI T1.105-1995, which take precedence.
1.4.xxx
defect:
A limited interruption in the ability of an item to perform a required function. This definition
is derived from ANSI T1.416-1999 and ANSI T1.105-1995, which take precedence.
1.4.xxx
fixed stuff:
Null or padding octets inserted to compensate for the bandwidth dif
ferences between the
byte interleaving and the concatenation rules of SONET/SDH. This definition is derived from ANSI T1.416-
1999 and ANSI T1.105-1995, which take precedence.
1.4.xxx
jitter:
The deviation from the ideal timing of an event at the mean amplitude of the signal popula-
tion. Low-frequency deviations are tracked by the clock recovery circuit, and do not directly affect the tim-
ing allocations within a bit cell. Jitter that is not tracked by the clock recovery circuit directly affects the
timing allocations in a bit cell. Total Jitter (TJ) is composed of Deterministic Jitter (DJ) and Random Jitter
(RJ). Deterministic Jitter is characterized by its bounded peak-to-peak value and a non-Gaussian probability
density function. Four kinds of Deterministic Jitter are identified by their specific causes: duty cycle distor-
tion, data dependent, sinusoidal, and uncorrelated (to the data). Random Jitter is characterized by a Gaussian
distribution. For example, Random Jitter is the peak-to-peak value at approximately 14 times the standard
deviation of the Gaussian distribution for a BER of 10E-12, if the jitter population consists of only Gaussian
components.
