Ethernet in the First Mile Copper (EFMCu) Interfaces MIB
Status of This Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
This document defines Management Information Base (MIB) modules for
use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets.
This document describes extensions to the Ethernet-like Interfaces
MIB and Medium Attachment Unit (MAU) MIB modules with a set of
objects for managing Ethernet in the First Mile Copper (EFMCu)
interfaces 10PASS-TS and 2BASE-TL, defined in IEEE Std 802.3ah-2004
(note: IEEE Std 802.3ah-2004 has been integrated into IEEE Std 802.3-
2005). In addition, a set of objects is defined, describing cross-
connect capability of a managed device with multi-layer (stacked)
interfaces, extending the stack management objects in the Interfaces
Group MIB and the Inverted Stack Table MIB modules.

RFC 5066 EFMCu Interfaces MIB November 2007
1. Introduction
New Ethernet-like interfaces have been defined in the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard 802.3ah-2004
[802.3ah], a.k.a. Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM), which is now a
part of the base IEEE Standard 802.3-2005 [802.3]. In particular,
2BASE-TL and 10PASS-TS physical interfaces (PHYs), defined over
voice-grade copper pairs, have been specified for the long and short
reach, respectively. These interfaces, collectively called EFM
Copper (EFMCu), are based on Single-pair High-speed Digital
Subscriber Line (SHDSL) [G.991.2] and Very High speed Digital
Subscriber Line (VDSL) [G.993.1] technology, supporting optional
Physical Medium Entity (PME) aggregation (a.k.a. multi-pair bonding)
with variable rates.
2BASE-TL PHY is capable of providing at least 2 Mbps over a 2700 m
long single copper pair with a mean Bit Error Rate (BER) of 10^-7
(using 5 dB target noise margin).
10PASS-TS PHY is capable of providing at least 10 Mbps over a 750 m
long single copper pair with a mean BER of 10^-7 (using 6 dB target
noise margin).
