Nendica Study Item: Evolved Link Layer Architecture [ELLA]
Contents
Study Item Leader:
- Roger Marks
Initiating Motion (2021-07-22):
For Nendica to initiate a Study Item on Evolved Link Layer Architecture (ELLA), with the goal of producing, by the November 802 Plenary, an informal report documenting:
- Summary of aspects missing from current IEEE 802 Architecture documentation
- Potential benefits enabled by additional architectural details
- Impact of new and evolving technologies on architecture
- Architectural optimization in specific network environments
- Possible standardization recommendations
IEEE Std 802 Revision PAR Development
802.1 authorizes Nendica to generate a PAR and, if appropriate, CSD for pre-circulation to the March IEEE 802 Plenary Session for a revision to IEEE Std 802, taking into account information from the 802.1 Technical Plenary
- Motion approved by IEEE 802.1 WG, 2021-11-16
