IEEE 802.3ct-2021

The Inverse RS-FEC sublayer specifies a Reed-Solomon forward error correction (RS-FEC) sublayer for 100GBASE-R, 100GBASE-P, and 100GBASE-Z PHYs. This sublayer is used in cases where the RS-FEC specified in Clause 91 is used across a physically instantiated 100GAUI-n and a different FEC is used for the PMD.



Amendment Standard - Superseded. This amendment includes changes to IEEE Std 802.3-2018 and adds Clause 152 through Clause 154 and Annex 154A. This amendment adds 100 Gb/s Physical Layer specifications and management parameters for operation over DWDM systems using a combination of phase and amplitude modulation with coherent detection for reaches of at least 80 km.
