1. draft-ietf-adslmib-gshdslbis-08.txt Reason for the draft
RFC 3276 needed to be updated or obsoleted in order to add support for G.shdsl.bis. The basic G.shdsl.bis enhancements consist of adding support for up to 4 wire pairs (8-wires) and increasing line rates. In addition, some objects were added to supplement the ability to manage a span.
The additional objects added were:
maximum attainable payload rate
actual payload rate
tip and ring reversal status
current activation state

2. Time Line -00 to Present
