Physical Media Dependent or Physical Medium Dependent?
Is it Physical Media Dependent or Physical Medium Dependent? --Liface 17:51, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Physical Medium Dependent - see IEEE 802.3-2005. I've renamed it. Guy Harris (talk) 23:05, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Proposed merge into Ethernet physical layer
There are a couple of major problems with this article which I think could be solved with a merge into the Ethernet physical layer article:

--Gareth8118 08:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) PMDs were actually defined way before the 10 gigabit Ethernet 802.3ae effort in 2002; indeed, the mainstream 100Mbit Ethernet defines the concept of a PMD layer.
 * 2) The listing of PMD types essentially duplicates the list of PHY types in Ethernet physical layer and 10 gigabit ethernet
 * 3) Minor: The wikification isn't that great - for example, the 10 gigabit Ethernet link actually goes to Gigabit Ethernet topic

Why ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.192.96.70 (talk) 09:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I've updated this article (and Physical Coding Sublayer) to note that the PMD/PCS split is in part of Fast Ethernet and in gigabit Ethernet as well as 10Gb.


 * Most of the PMDs listed here aren't in the 10Gb section of Ethernet physical layer or in the 10 Gigabit Ethernet article - they correspond to multiple PHY types.


 * I've also fixed the links. Guy Harris (talk) 22:58, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
