IEEE 802.3-2005
IEEE 802.3-2005 Clause 56 introduces Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM). Several physical layers are specified for
optical fiber media, voice grade copper pairs and passive optical networks (PONs). It also introduces an
Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) mechanism to be used on point-to-point Ethernet links
(E-OAM). Clause 61 specifies items common to the 10PASS-TS and 2BASE-TL EFM systems which apply to
voice grade copper media. This clause also specifies the optional PAF function. Clause 63 is 2BASE-TL
specific, which is the EFM system used in combination with SHDSL modulation.
Following IEEE 802.3-2005 clauses are relevant to the Thomson SHDSL devices:
