  ITU-T A.5 justification information for referenced document MEF 10.3.2 in draft G.8011/Y.1307
1. Clear description of the referenced document:
Name: MEF 10.3.2
Title: Amendment to MEF 10.3 - UNI Resiliency Enhancement, October 2015 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. This document amends MEF 10.3 to enhance the UNI Resiliency Service Attribute to include multiple physical links that can carry different Service Frames simultaneously at a UNI.
2. Status of approval:
Approved in 2015
3. Justification for the specific reference:
The Ethernet service attributes in MEF 10.3 form the basis of this Recommendation.
4. Current information, if any, about IPR issues:
No known issues.
5. Other useful information describing the "Quality" of the document:
Commonly referenced all over the world for metro Ethernet services.
6. The degree of stability or maturity of the document:
Commonly referenced all over the world for metro Ethernet services.
7. Relationship with other existing or emerging documents:
Amendment of MEF 10.3
