Hi Mier, Saeed.

Could you explain this last one? Seems unlikely this is a 12 pair
link
mode. So i assume it is four pair which can do LR4, ER4 or FR4?
Correct

Can
you connect a 400000baseLR4 to a 400000baseER4 with a 10Km cable
and
it work?
LR, ER & FR are using same technology – single mode fiber, w/WDM –

and by design are fully interoperable but haven’t tested all
combinations.

How do you know you have connected a 400000baseLR4 to a
400000baseER4 with a 40Km and it is not expected to work, when
looking
at ethtool? I assume the EEPROM contents tell you if the module is
LR4, ER4, or FR4?

      Andrew
Correct.

In addition, this is the terminology exposed in 50 Gbps and we
followed it.
Hi Andrew,

we are going to update the commit message with:

    LR, ER and FR are defined as a single link mode because they are
    using same technology and by design are fully interoperable.
    EEPROM content indicates if the module is LR, ER, or FR, and the
    user space ethtool decoder is planned to support decoding these    
    modes in the EEPROM.

Please let me know it this answer your questions, so we can re-spin
this patch.

Thanks,
Saeed.
