Hello,

We have the following questions and feedback regarding 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-schmutzer-bess-ple-00



Q1: Section 4.2.2 RTP Header



>From the draft,



     "Timestamp values are used in accordance with the rules

      established in [RFC3550].  Frequency of the clock used

      for generating    timestamps MUST be 25 MHz based on a

      local reference."



Does 25MHz provide enough resolution to meet the jitter requirements of higher 
bit rate signals?  A 25MHz clock provides 40ns of resolution in the timestamp 
while a 125MHz clock would provide 8ns of resolution.  It is easier to filter 
out steps of 8ns than 40ns when recovering the client clock.



Q2: Section 5. PLE Payload Layer



The suggested default payload sizes for a constant bit rate payload (S5.1) is 
480 bytes and an ODUk frame aligned payload (S5.2) is 478 bytes.  Should we 
consider a bigger packet size in each case to lower the effective packet rate 
and added overhead?  Doubling the default payload size would result in the 
maximum number of 10G clients per 100G link.


Thank you,
Chris
