PHYtx Work Area starts the third issue of TR-301 and continues efforts of the MoCA Access^TM Performance Test Plan

Target: To enable multi-vendor interoperability in deployments for both access and in-premises networks.

Progress: TR-301 Issue 3: “Architecture and Requirements for Fiber to the Distribution Point” was approved with architecture and requirements for coaxial based technology and P2MP scenarios. The PHYtx Work Area continued the development of the WT-500 “MoCA Access Performance Test Plan.”

During this meeting, the PHYtx Work Area continued to develop WT-500 “MoCA Access Performance Test Plan” and aims to go to Straw Ballot by the Summer Member Meeting. MoCA Access is one of the technologies that can be used for Fiber to the distribution point (FTTdp) deployments as described in TR-419i2. The group also discussed the US and EU coaxial network attenuation examples and will begin a marketing document.

Amendment 3 to TR-301i2 – which is adding bulk data collection using IPFIX – has completed Straw Ballot. Straw Ballot review can be started after the completion of the next revision of TR-413 (SDN/NFV) and TR-383 (Common YANG).
