[ ] creation of a table with all the various PHY mmi, MAC mmi and base-X and their eeprom values and autosentising, Signaling Rate, Encoding, Rate Identifier , ... and ref SFF-8472 Rev 12.4
[ ] specify in the ONT and router no longer hsgmii/base-X yes or no, but rather the standards supported by the eeprom, like ethernet on router or the new page introduced on #311
