I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that IEEE 1905.1 might be something
interesting to look at to see if it might be a useful component of a holistic
homenet solution. It can do PHY and MAC layer topology discovery and PHY-layer
metrics, for all Ethernet MAC-based PHYs (including Wi-Fi, HomePlug, G.hn,
MoCA, HomePNA, Ethernet, etc.). Some feedback I got was that not being able to
read the spec without paying for it made it a non-starter. Which I completely
agree with. I was talking to Pat Thaler, who knows a lot about IEEE, asking if
there was some way to get the specs to homenet. She said that if the homenet
chairs sent a liaison to IEEE asking for it, explaining there was interest in
possibly referencing it, that IEEE might send over a copy that could be made
available to homenet participants via a password-protected means.
So if there is interest, I'd be happy to volunteer to help make such a liaison
happen (work with chairs, liaison officer, and advocate on the IEEE side). I
don't see any downside in asking for it.
I am interested in this and would appreciate if it could be done.
