Name:
|
MEF 10
|
|
Title:
|
The attributes of Ethernet Services observable at a User Network Interface (UNI) and from User Network Interface to User Network Interface (UNI to UNI) are defined in MEF10. In addition, a framework for defining specific instances of Ethernet Services is described. MEF10 supersedes and replaces MEF 1 and MEF 5.

Qualification of
MEF:
|
|
|
The MEF was recognized under the provisions of ITU-T Recommendation A.5 on 24 September 2002. Qualifying information is on file with TSB.
9.5 The IPR policy of the MEF may be found in Article 10 of the MEF Bylaws which are available on the MEF public WEB site metroethernetforum.org.
9.6 All MEF Technical Specifications, Implementation Agreements, and Test Specifications are approved by an electronic letter ballot of all MEF members. For a MEF document to pass an electronic letter ballot at least a quorum of members (defined by the MEF bylaws as 1/3 of the MEF membership) must vote Yes or No. In addition, of the Yes plus No votes at least 75% of the votes must be Yes.
9.7 All published MEF documents are available for download free of charge in PDF or WORD format from the MEF public WEB site www.metroethernetforum.org .
9.8 Each revision of a given MEF document has a different MEF number.
