Sep 2011 Interim |
We believe have a new feature requirement for 802.1AX and it is needed to send/receive at the physical layer. This aspect could be put into AXbq. The solution would involve some Y layer as a shim. If we want to de-multiplex frames then we would either need new addresses or content specific multiplexing. The way it currently works is that you would see multiple peers at the aggregate layer and one of the physical links would see two peers while others would only see one. This is most likely the desirable behavior. Doing the Y based on protocol is a slippery slope (e.g. it would be protocol specific – the LLDP Y as a shim). We would rather not create a new destination address. Discuss this at the Interim via a submission by Jeff, Paul and Norm. Leave in received state for now. As discussed at the Interim in Nanjing during the joint session, AXbq will consider addressing the issue of transmitting/receivign LLDP at the physical layer and changes to TLVs or MIBs will be held for a future revision of AX |

Nov 2011 Plenary |
The editor of AXbq agreed to address these issue, but a scope change is needed in the project. The maintenance TG agreed that we should convert AXbq to a full revision project. Alternatives such as a separate amendment project were discussed but rejected. Motions will be required on Thursday to pre-circulate the new PAR. This may require a change in the project name to AX-Rev (we think). We will need to revise the PAR at the interim. AXbk will still finish and go to sponsor ballot. The based text of AXbk will be rolled into AX-Rev. No change in status since there is no agreed fix yet. |
