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


[edit] 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:

  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
