Hi all,
Appreciate informative feedback on this. It looks like Oracle paper sums up 
the root of my question - and actually opens up the second aspect of all this
is that we'd like to assure material loss variations.  Anyone else out there
requesting their suppliers for this details? If yes, what is the most common
format shared by the suppliers? What are loss common loss deviation targets?
Thanks,Lenny R

Subject: [SI-LIST] Why do we still TDR pcbs

  Hi folks,
See lots of discussion this month on whether SI has become commoditized. I'll
hold off my thoughts on that... and instead ask my
"too-ashamed-to-ask-but-will-ask-anyways" question.
The question is this. Why do we still insist on board impedance data from our
PCB manufacturers?
Here's the rationale behind this question  As we all know too well, PCB trace
impedance is not a nice constant real value (say 50 ohms) so we can't really
expect a single number(right?). And with that said, PCB manufactures never
provide us with the details of their measurement (edge rates, launches, ref
planes anyone?).  They just give us a number saying they are within 10%.
Great.  We know nothing from this other than I can sleep better at night
knowing my, say, single ended clocks will work fine. Well, how useful is all 
that for links designed for my fancy 10Gbps or more? Wouldn't it be more useful
for them to give us S11/22?
