Summary

Recommendation ITU-T G.8011/Y.1307 establishes a framework to describe network-oriented characteristics of Ethernet services based on the documents of a non-profit industry forum of network, cloud and technology providers, the MEF. The framework is supported by the modelling of Ethernet layer networks described by ITU-T and MEF. The service definition, service attributes and operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) introduced in this framework are used to create numerous specific Ethernet services.
