None of the other interface modes contain a bit rate. So is the bit rate needed for your two new modes? With a bit of googling, K means copper backplane, X means 4B/5B and R means 64B/66B. Could there be a 10Gbps KX? a 1GBps KR? Do we actually need the speed here, or is kx and kr sufficient? Thanks Andrew
