Hello All,

        Does anyone have any comments regarding the issues that Naren
has put forward and Moti's responses?
In particular please look at item #1 as Moti has requested some more
opinions on this issue.

        Are there any other comments on the Vdsl2 draft?
        
        Thank you kindly.

Best Regards,
Menachem

Hi Naren,

Thank you for your comments.

Here are my answers:

(1) Organization of xdsl2ProfileLine group 
------------------------------------------------------------
I understand that you actually refer to the object identifiers, i.e.,
the MIB branches.
The xdsl2ProfileLine branch currently has 3 configuration tables which
all are on the line level
(i)   The line configuration template,
(ii)  The line configuration profile, and
(iii) The line configuration template

If I understand you correctly you propose to separate the templates from
the other two line tables.
I don't have any objection to this, but I would be happy to hear more
opinions (especially from 
the other editors) 

2) RaRatios could be part of the channel conf profile
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
At first glance it seems correct, and we had the same debate when
started the ADSL2 MIB.
We understood that the ratio is an attribute that belongs to the
relationships among a given 
set of profiles and it is not part of the profile itself. 
For example, in case channel profile X represents a service, then
profile X can be used
in a single channel configuration (its ratio will be set on the template
level to 100%), or
together with another channel Y (the two ratio values for X and Y will
be set on the template
level so that they sum to 100%), etc.

(3) Actual INP and INP reporting mode
-------------------------------------------------------
Correct

(4) consistent abbreviations
---------------------------------------
>From my p.o.v. it's a minor issue but ... OK, let's correct that.

(5) INPMIN for 8.625kHz
-----------------------------------
We need to add separate INPMIN8 (d/s and u/s) attributes to the table.
In that occasion, it seems reasonable to add a separate textual
convention for those (i.e.,
without the 1/2 symbol)

(6) Per band measurements
----------------------------------------
My proposal is having a table for the measurements with a row per band
and also with a row for the line level (u/s and d/s). See below.

(7) SNR mode
--------------------

(8) Add WT-129
------------------------
Correct

(references)
-----------------
The -01 revision was released before G.997.1 was consented. So, we 
sure need to review all references.

(Question on line and signal atten)
--------------------------------------------------
My proposal is having a table for the measurements with a row per band
and also with a row for the line level (u/s and d/s).
We can then move there the parameters that currently are listed under
the status table and under the SC status table.

(Minor comments)
--------------------------------------------------
Both are correct

Hi,

Please find my comments attached. I have used the following documents as
reference during my review:
WT-129
G.997.1 (06/2006)

Comments on draft-ietf-adslmib-vdsl2-01
---------------------------------------

1) Organization of xdsl2ProfileLine group looks strange:

 xdsl2LineConfTemplateTable has pointers to both line and channel
profile, so in my opinion it is best to keep this outside
xdsl2ProfileLine group.
 
Proposed structure:
 
 xdsl2Profile
  +
  |
  +--xdsl2ProfileTemplate
  |   +--xdsl2ProfileConfTemplateTable
  |
  +--xdsl2LineProfile
  |   +--xdsl2LineProfileTable
  |   |
  |   +--xdsl2LineProfSpecModeTable
  |
  +--xdsl2ChannelProfile
  |   +--xdsl2ChannelProfileTable
  |
  +--xdsl2AlarmConfProfile
  |   +--xdsl2AlarmConfProfileTable
  | 
 
2) xdsl2LConfTemplateTable: 
   a) RaRatios can be put under channel conf profile itself, any reason
why it is put separately?

3) xdsl2ChannelStatusTable : MIB objects for Actual INP and INP
reporting mode are not modelled.


4) Use consistent abbreviations (as described in RFC4181) - Change
xdsl2LineCnfgTemplate to xdsl2LineConfTemplate; similarly,
xdsl2LineAlarmCnfgTemplate to xdsl2LineAlarmConfTemplate; 

5) This is regarding MIN INP for systems using 8.625kHz subcarrier
spacing. In the description of xdsl2ChConfProfMinProtectionXs mention
that for systems using 8.625kHz subcarrier, 1/2 symbol is not valid.


6) Per band Line Attenuation and Per band Signal attenuation are not
modelled.

7)Actual Down/Upstream Signal-To-Noise Ratio mode (sec. 7.5.1.15 and
7.5.1.18 of G.997.1) are not modelled

8) TR-129 (actually WT-129 now, but in letter ballot) can be included in
the reference section.

I know that references are to be re-visited, however, some pointers from
my side:

*) REFERENCE section for xdsl2ChConfProfMaxBerDs,
xdsl2ChConfProfMaxBerUs is not correct. The correct section in G.997.1
is paragraph 7.3.2.6.

*) In the DESCRIPTION section of xdsl2LineCnfgTemplate  &
xdsl2LineAlarmCnfgTemplate, the reference to TR-129 is incorrect, there
is no 5.1.1 section in TR-129.

*) REFERENCE section for xdsl2LineStatusPwrMngState refers to 7.5.1.2 of
G.997.1, this is incorrect, the right section is 7.5.1.5

*) REFERENCE section for xdsl2SCStatusSigAtten is not correct. Sec.
7.5.1.9 of G.997.1 refers to per band line attenuation (LATNds)

*) REFERENCE section for xdsl2LineStatusLnAttenDs and
xdsl2LineStatusLnAttenUs are not correct. 

Question: Line Attenuation and Signal Attenuation parameters are defined
in G.997 & TR-129 only on a per-band basis. I am of the opinion that
signal and line attenuation should be modelled at the live level too.
How do we handle this?

Minor / Cosmetic comments
-------------------------
In the description of xdsl2LInvSystemVendorId, change 'The ATU System
Vendor ID ...' to 'The XTU system Vendor ID ...'

Page 51, capitalize reference to standard in para 3 -> change '... per
[g.992.5] ...' to '... per [G.992.5] ...'
