IEEE P802.3ba 40 GbE and 100 GbE Standards Update Greg Hankins <ghankins@force10networks.com> RIPE 56 EIX WG RIPE 56 2008/05/08
Per IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, January 2005 At lectures, symposia, seminars, or educational courses, an individual presenting information on IEEE standards shall make it clear that his or her views should be considered the personal views of that individual rather than the formal position, explanation, or interpretation of the IEEE. 2
Higher Speed Study Group became the P802.3ba Task Force! 3 Major compromises were worked out before, and during the July 2007 Plenary Voted to adopt both 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s rates Submitted PAR and 5 Criteria which were approved by the 802.3 Working Group Approved by 802 EC, NESCOM and Standards Board in December P802.3ba HSSG Higher Speed Ethernet
802.3ba The Next Generation of Ethernet The Higher Speed Study Group has become the IEEE P802.3ba Task Force The Task Force will produce one amendment to the IEEE 802.3 specification The 40 GbE and 100 GbE standards will be delivered together in June 2010 Proposed solutions use existing 10 GbE, copper and optical technology 4
Summary of Adopted Objectives July 2007 Plenary Common Objectives Support full-duplex operation only Preserve the 802.3 / Ethernet frame format utilizing the 802.3 MAC Preserve minimum and maximum FrameSize of current 802.3 standard Support a BER better than or equal to 10-12 at the MAC/PLS service interface 5 Provide appropriate support for OTN
Summary of Adopted Objectives March 2008 Plenary 6 Architecture Interfaces 40 GbE Physical Layer Specifications 100 GbE Interest to Create a Common Architecture Interest to Reuse 10 Gb/s Serial Technology 1m Backplane Reuse 10GBASE-KR 10m Copper Cable Reuse 10GBASE-KR 100m OM3 MMF n x 10 Gb/s 10km SMF 4 x 10 Gb/s 10km SMF 4 x 25 Gb/s 40km SMF Potential Solution Space 4 x 25 Gb/s
Architecture Options Discussion 7 Option #1 MLD Multi-Lane Distribution 66 bit blocks lane striped Is a solution n lanes by m Gb/s (multiple λs)? Option #2 PBL Physical Bundling Layer 66 bit blocks encoded Is a solution n instances of PHY by m Gb/s PHY? http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/3/ba/public/jan08/green_01_0108.pdf MLD has the most support and fits into the proposed architecture
Provide appropriate support for OTN The ITU-T and IEEE will work together to specify mappings for 40 GbE and 100 GbE into OTN Several people attend both the IEEE and ITU-T meetings Liaison established Define transparent mapping of 40 GbE into existing ODU3 with transcoding Define new ODU4 tier for 100 GbE Transparent transport of 100 GbE over new wave Multiplexed tributaries ODU3-3v, 3 bonded waves of 40 Gb/s ODU2-11v, 11 bonded waves of 10 Gb/s TBD based on optical transmission feasibility 8
Physical Layer Specifications: Copper Objectives 40 Gb/s over 1m backplane Proposals to reuse 10GBASE-KR and adopt for 40GBASE-KR4 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s over 10m copper cable assembly Proposal to reuse 10GBASE-KR for 40 GbE (4 x 10.3125 Gb/s) and 100 GbE objectives (10 x 10.3125 Gb/s) Define media characteristics Twinaxial cable QSFP or CX4 connectors 9
Physical Layer Specifications: Optical Objectives for 100m OM3 MMF Options under consideration 850nm MMF parallel fiber Used on proprietary links since 2000 and InfiniBand SDR since 2002 Generated the most interest 850nm MMF CWDM over duplex fiber Considered during 10 GbE and shipping in high definition video applications today 850nm combination parallel and CWDM Possibility to reduce cabling cost and total cost of ownership (TCO) Discussion to extend reach beyond 100m for OM3 fiber 10 Discussion for even further reach extension using OM4 fiber
Physical Layer Specifications: Optical Objectives for SMF 10km 40km 40 GbE CWDM N/A 100 GbE CWDM LAN WDM LAN WDM Proposals under consideration for 100 GbE Option #1 - ITU G.694.1 widely spaced DWDM grid for LAN applications (LAN WDM) Option #2 - ITU G.694.2 CWDM grid for LAN applications (CWDM) For > 10km: disagreement between which grid option For > 40km: consensus around LAN WDM grid 11 Key area to be resolved next week
Other Questions to be Answered Architecture, block diagrams, interfaces and terminology for 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s Management (Clause 30, 45, Annex 30A, SNMP MIBs) Define test procedures 12
