I wanted to add a little more color on the ethernet language in the 4.4 revision proposal. I read somewhere earlier today someone well-known pointing out the importance of consensus based standards. The IETF is a consensus based SB. And according to their ANSI accreditations so are IEEE (electronics), TIA (telecom), NEMA(electric, fiber optic enclosures, et. al.), AQM (ISO 9001), and Open-IX.
ARIN, IMHO, should use the existence of a bonafide standard (and SB) as a strong and meaningful input with regards to meeting principles of being technically sound. -M< *Physical Interface* The IXP *MUST be able to offer IEEE 802.3 Ethernet *connectivity on a common switch infrastructure. Service offerings MUST be available *at least* at the following IEEE defined rates: - 802.3z 1GE - 802.3ae 10GE [ clip ] Traffic Forwarding The *IXP MUST forward frames with the following Ethertypes*: 0x0800 IPv4 0x86dd IPv6 [ clip ] On Sat, May 25, 2024 at 12:46 AM Martin Hannigan <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Fri, May 24, 2024 at 4:42 PM Owen DeLong via ARIN-PPML < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> I think the best resolution here would be to move all definitional text >> for IX in both proposals into a proposed (and identical) definition in NRPM >> section 2 and then it’s harmonious and not in need of future >> synchronization regardless of whether either or both proposals are adopted. >> > > I do agree with Bill's suggestion that we finish 2024-4 including a > definition and defined term for 2024-5 and anything else related ("Defined > Term").
