Geneva, Switzerland – July 2013
• 802.1Qcd PAR
– Responded to 802.11 PAR comments
– Editor (Eric Multanen) to produce a draft for task group ballot after Sept meeting
• Discussion of an ambiguity in 802.1Qbg CDCP

– Anoop to produce a presentation describing the problem and two alternative fixes
for Sept.
– Probably will result in a maintenance item.
• New work presentation: Flow control for above 100 Gb/s
– Current flow/congestion control mechanisms may have issues at these speeds
