  ITU-T A.5 justification information for referenced document MEF 35.1 in draft G.8011/Y.1307
1. Clear description of the referenced document:
Name: MEF 35.1
Title: Service OAM Performance Monitoring Implementation Agreement This document specifies an Implementation Agreement (IA) for Service Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (SOAM) that satisfies and extends the Performance Monitoring (PM) framework and requirements described in MEF 17. Existing PM Functions are defined by ITU-T G.8013/Y.1731, and ITU-T G.8021 as amended. This document details how to use these functions in order to achieve the requirements of MEF SOAM PM.
2. Status of approval:
Approved in 2015
3. Justification for the specific reference:
The Ethernet service OAM definitions in MEF 35.1 complement ITU-T G.8013 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:
8. Any explicit references within that referenced document should also be listed:
