Mr. Jeffree, Mr Haddock, Mr. Abbas, Mr. Betts, Mr. Bryant, Mr. Malis, Mr. Bocci;
Please be advised that the MEF has created a project to define requirements for Ethernet Service Protection across the External Interfaces between two Ethernet Network domains.
The Service Protection across External Interfaces project specifies interface requirements at a MEF UNI and ENNI, and the expectations with respect to the impact on MEF defined services. The intention is to identify behavioral requirements for protection and resiliency mechanism being contemplated by SDOs that cater to MEF defined services.
We will continue to keep you informed on the progress of the Specification.
In addition to the draft being attached, this approved draft can be accessed via MEF’s external folder for liaison documents:
