Defines the architecture framework to model the Ethernet Services Layer of MEF compliant Carrier Ethernet Networks.
This document provides the architecture framework to model the Ethernet Services Layer of MEF compliant Carrier Ethernet Networks. The Ethernet Service Layer architecture framework describes the high-level topological and functional constructs used to model the various architectural components of the Ethernet Service Subscriber and Provider networks, their associated functional elements, and their interconnect relationships. The architecture framework also describes the relationship between Ethernet Services Layer interfaces, functional elements and their
reference points, and other architectural elements in the Transport Layer (TRAN) and Application (APP) Layers of the MEF Generic Architecture Framework (MEF 4). This document supersedes and replaces MEF 12.1 and MEF 12.1.1.
