While it is certainly reasonable to provide a "snapshot" of the 
capabilities of products based on current 802.3 standards, I believe 
that is not the appropriate underlying message.

The real message needs to be that 802.3 provides and will provide in the 
future both the short reach and long haul physical layer standards that 
provide the core of standardization for hard media connected packet 
transport networks (both native and encapsulated transport over other 
networks). Equipment based on 802.3 standards is an absolute requirement 
for hard media connection of large interoperable packet networks for the 
foreseeable future.

Best regards,
Geoff
