Title:

MEF 6.3 Subscriber Ethernet Services Definitions
This document defines three Subscriber Ethernet Service constructs called Subscriber Ethernet Service Types and six Subscriber Ethernet Services with Service Attribute values as specified in [MEF 10.4], “Subscriber Ethernet Services Attributes” and in [MEF 45.1], “Layer 2 Control Protocols in Ethernet Services”. These Subscriber Ethernet Service Types are used to create Point-to-Point, Multipoint-to-Multipoint, and Rooted-Multipoint Ethernet Services that are either Port or VLAN based.
