All,
In the attached doc I showed that the BIRD166 flow may unphysically amplify
redriver nonlinearity, internal noise and crosstalks when they reach downstream
DFE and that this amplification equals the upstream channel loss in dB. This
problem can't be resolved by incremental changes in current flow. That's why
additional columns are added to impulse response matrix in the Keysight BIRD.
BTW, there is no need to count the number of possible combinations. As more
aggressors and cascaded redrivers are added to the link, this number will keep
growing. The flow in the Keysight BIRD, described in a separate doc, is
designed in a scalable way so that one only needs to deal with 4 basic
combinations and all others are automatically covered.

All,
Fangyi and I had an AR to describe what bad things can happen if IBIS 166.2 is
approved in 7.0 and the Keysight BIRD with additional IR is approved in IBIS
7.1.
I am enclosing a presentation which is a short review of the current IBIS
166.2, and adds a section demonstrating that no bad things will happen if 166.2
is included in IBIS 7.0 and the Keysight BIRD with additional IR is approved in
IBIS 7.1.
In summary:
* There are 81 possible flows based on IBIS 6.1 models.
* There are 625 possible flows in the Keysight BIRD.
* The 81 flows in IBIS 7.0 remain the same in IBIS 7.1.
Therefore the flows in IBIS 7.1 will not change any of the flows in IBIS 7.0.
