What are the MEF priorities and Scope of Work?
• Ethernet Services for metro transport networks. Ethernet services defined by the MEF are transport agnostic. The Metro Ethernet services can be communicated using two umbrella service types “Ethernet Line Services” (E-Line Services – point-to-point services) and Ethernet LAN Services” (E-LAN Services – multipoint-to-multipoint services). As part of the E-Line Service and E-LAN Service definitions, the MEF has defined the service attributes and parameters recommended for successful implementation of these services. This means that for each service based on these Service definitions, there are associated service attributes that have parameters, which must be set accordingly, so as to meet the customer service expectations. Typical service attributes include performance, bandwidth, speed, mode and class of service. Within each of these attributes parameters are recommended that provide interoperability between metro Ethernet Service Providers and vendors who implement the services. • Ca
