Carrier Ethernet Defined
The MEF has defined Carrier Ethernet as
A ubiquitous, standardized,
carrier-class Service and Network
defined by five attributes
that distinguish it from familiar
LAN based Ethernet
5
What is Carrier Ethernet?
• Question:
– “Is it a service, a network, or a technology?”
• Answer for an end-user
– It’s a Service defined by 5 attributes
• Answer for a service provider
– It’s a set of certified network elements that
connect to transport the services offered to the
customer
– It’s a platform for value added services
– A standardized service for all users

Carrier Ethernet Architecture
“In a Carrier Ethernet network, data is transported across Point-to-Point and
Multipoint-to-Multipoint Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs) according to the
attributes and definitions of the E-Line, E-LAN and E-Tree services”

Carrier Ethernet Architecture
Data moves from UNI to UNI across "the network" with a layered
architecture.
ETH Layer
Ethernet Services Layer
(e.g., IP, MPLS, PDH, etc.)
(Ethernet Service PDU)
TRAN Layer
Management Plane
Application Services Layer
Control Plane
APP Layer
Data Plane
When traffic moves between ETH domains is does so at the TRAN
layer. This allows
Carrier Ethernet traffic to be
agnostic to the networks
that it traverses.
Transport Services Layer
(e.g., IEEE 802.1, SONET/SDH, MPLS)
8
MEF Carrier Ethernet Terminology
• The User Network Interface (UNI)
– The UNI is always provided by the Service Provider
– The UNI in a Carrier Ethernet Network is a physical Ethernet Interface at
operating speeds 10Mbs, 100Mbps, 1Gbps or 10Gbps
• Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC)
– Service container
– Connects two or more subscriber sites (UNI’s)
– An association of two or more UNIs
– Prevents data transfer between sites that are not part of the
same EVC
– Three types of EVCs
• Point-to-Point
• Multipoint-to-Multipoint
• Rooted Multipoint
– Can be bundled or multiplexed on the same UNI
– Defined in MEF 10.2 technical specification
9
Carrier Ethernet Terminology
• UNI Type I
– A UNI compliant with MEF 13
– Manually Configurable
• UNI Type II
–
–
–
–
Supports E-Tree
Support service OAM, link protection
Automatically Configurable via E-LMI
Manageable via OAM
• Network to Network Interface (NNI)
– Network to Network Interface between distinct MEN operated by
one or more carriers
– An active project of the MEF
• Metro Ethernet Network (MEN)
– An Ethernet transport network connecting user end-points
(Expanded to Access and Global networks in addition to the
original Metro Network meaning)

EP-Tree and EVP-Tree: Both allow root - root and root - leaf
communication but not leaf - leaf communication.
• EP-Tree requires dedication of the UNIs to the single EP-Tree
service
• EVP-Tree allows each UNI to be support multiple simultaneous
services at the cost of more complex configuration that EP-Tree

• Virtual Connections
• Bandwidth profiles
• Class of Service Identification
– Service Performance
•
•
•
•
Frame Delay (Latency)
Inter Frame Delay Variation
Frame Loss Ratio
Availability
• UNI Service Attributes
– Details regarding the UNI including:

17
Bandwidth Profiles & Traffic Management (1)
Bandwidth Profiles per EVC & per Class of Service Governed by 6 Parameters
– CIR (Committed Information Rate)
• CIR defines assured bandwidth
• Assured via bandwidth reservation, traffic engineering
– EIR (Excess Information Rate)
• EIR bandwidth is considered ‘excess’
• EIR improves the network’s Goodput
• Traffic dropped at congestion points in the network
EVC-2
EVC-1
– CBS/EBS (Committed/Excess Burst Size in bytes)
• Higher burst size results in improved performance
Color Mode (“Color Aware” or “Color Blind”)
– When set as “Color Aware” governs discard eligibility
• Marking typically done at ingress
• Green – Forwarded frames – CIR conforming traffic
• Yellow – Discard Eligible frames – Over CIR , within EIR
• Red – Discarded frames – Exceeds EIR
EIR
EVC-3
Coupling Flag (set to 1 or 0) governs which frames are classed as yellow
18
Bandwidth Profiles & Traffic Management (2)
• Bandwidth Profiles can divide bandwidth per EVC over a single UNI
– Multiple services over same port (UNI)
– CoS markings enable the network to determine the network QoS to provide

Background: CoS Phase I
MEF 23 CoS Implementation Agreement - Phase 1
• Specifies a 3 CoS Model and allows for subsets and extensions
• Provides Guidance for interconnections of Carrier Ethernet networks
implementing Class of Service Models
• PCP/DSCP* values, as part of the Class of Service ID (CoS ID)
– Recommended for the UNI while PCP values are mandatory at the
ENNI to facilitate interconnection.
– PCP/DSCP mandatory values are subset of the total value
Guidance on Bandwidth Profile constraints
– Includes consideration for frame disposition (i.e., “Color”)
Performance Attributes
– Introduced based on FD, IFDV/FDV and FLR – not quantified
* Note: PCP: Priority Code Point : 3 bit Priority in IEEE 802.3 datagram frames.
DSCP: 6-bit Differentiated Services Code Point in IP frames
26
Mapping the CoS Model at an ENNI
Common CoS lexicon between the Service Providers on either side of the standardized
Ethernet interconnect facilitates CoS alignment:
• Providers are still free to implement a subset or superset of MEF CoS definitions
• MEF 23 specifies interoperability between CE Networks using up to 3 MEF CoS

Benefits of CoS Alignment, Standardization
Summary
• An important new specification that will accelerate
deployment
• Customers can easily receive the same service
between all points in the world
• Carriers can interconnect with other carriers
automatically without engineering
• Services can rapidly roll out worldwide
• Service calls diminish when service performance is
universally predictable
• Carrier Ethernet applications are tuned to work better
because the underlying service is better understood
41
Example Uses of Services
42
Examples for EPL
• Simple configuration
Internet
• “The port to the Internet
it is un-trusted”
Branch
• “The port to the branches
it is trusted”
• No coordination with MEN
SP for HQ to branch
subnets
EPL
• Fractional bandwidth
(Bandwidth Profile) to
minimize monthly service
charges

• Efficient use of ISG router port
• One subnet to configure on ISG router
• Simple configuration for the little guys
• Small, Tiny, and Diminutive Guys can’t see each other’s traffic
• Second Root would provide redundant internet access
• Some limits on what routing protocols can be used

Implementation Guidance
• The above bandwidth profiles and related Performance metrics are a small set of those available.
• New MEF Specifications recommend performance objectives based on both distance and application types
Impact for Providers and Enterprises
• Ability to tune Carrier Ethernet services to exactly match wide variety of changing applications requirements
creates a highly responsive network that reacts well to bursts of high priority data.

This presentation gives basic and most up-to-date information about the work of the MEF. It also
introduces the definitions, scope and impact of Carrier Ethernet, the MEF Certification programs and
describes the benefits of joining the MEF.
Includes a summary of the specifications of the MEF, structure of the technical committee, work in
progress and relationships with other Industry Standards bodies. For PowerPoint overviews of individual
specifications: click here
This presentation defines the MEF Ethernet Services that represent the principal attribute of a Carrier
Ethernet Network
This presentation discusses the market impact of MEF 20: UNI Type 2 Implementation agreement
This presentation describes how the MEF specifications bring Carrier Ethernet services to the world's
Access networks (with examples of Active Ethernet (Direct Fiber), WDM Fiber, MSO Networks(COAX and
Direct Fiber), Bonded Copper, PON Fiber and TDM (Bonded T1/E1, DS3/E3))
This is the latest presentation from the Carrier Ethernet Interconnect Working Group which acts as a
framework for all presentations given on this topic.
This presentation describes the management framework and the OAM elements for fault and
performance management expressed in terms of the life cycle of a Carrier Ethernet circuit
A comprehensive marketing and technical overview of the MEF's initiative on Mobile Backhaul that has
lead to the adoption of Carrier Ethernet as the technology of choice for 3G and 4G backhaul networks
A comprehensive presentation aimed at business users
A presentation of the MEFs three certification programs: Equipment, Services and Professionals. These
The MEF Certification Programs programs have been a cornerstone of the success of Carrier Ethernet and its deployment in more than 100
countries around the world.
