New LINKTYPE_ for EPON

[Philip Rosenberg-Watt <P.Rosenberg-Watt () cablelabs com>]

Hello:

I apologize if this is a duplicate message. I sent a request on Monday but
I have not received a response, so I'm trying again, this time as a member
of the list. I also did not S/MIME sign this message in case that was the
issue.

CableLabs specifies Ethernet Passive Optical Network as the foundation for
DPoE (DOCSIS Provisioning over EPON). We would like to request a separate
LINKTYPE for EPON, as all EPON frames will contain a fixed-size 8-byte
preamble before the Ethernet header.

The relevant standard is IEEE 802.3-2012, Section 5, Clause 65.


Thanks again,
