  ITU-T A.5 justification information for referenced document MEF 22.1 in draft G.8011/Y.1307
1. Clear description of the referenced document:
Name: MEF 22.1
Title: MEF 22.1 Mobile Backhaul Phase 2 This document identifies the requirements for MEF Ethernet Services and MEF External Interfaces (EIs such as UNIs) for use in Mobile Backhaul networks based on MEF specifications. In addition, new interface and service attributes have been specified where needed. The services and requirements in this Implementation Agreement are based on the services defined in MEF 6.1 [3] as well as the attributes in MEF 10.2 [7], in MEF 10.2.1 [8] and this IA. The aim is to be flexible to support a wide range of Ethernet service based mobile network deployments.
2. Status of approval:
Approved in 2012
3. Justification for the specific reference:
The Ethernet service definitions in MEF 22.1 supplement MEF 6.2 to 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:
MEF 22.1 applies and extends MEF 6.1 and MEF 10.2 for MBH
