Why this project?
–
The need for and use of FEC increases as signalling
speeds rise, and digital gates get cheaper and lower
power
•
Why this meeting?
–
It's overdue
–
Catching the "last proposal" deadline
–
Enabled by evolving and stabilising HSE architecture
•
Need and opportunity is "across the sublayers"
•
P802.3ba (HSE) should consider FEC more
seriously than previous projects
