MEF E-Access and E-Transit

The Wholesale Ethernet Game-Changer

What is an MEF E-Access Service?• Retail Service Provider buys E-Access services to reach off-net customer locations

• Wholesale Access Provider sells E-Access services to provide access to locations on its network

• ENNI is point of interconnection between Retail and Wholesale providers

New CE 2.0 E-Transit Services

• Key Characteristics of an E-Transit Service:

• Connects two or more CENs together using an Operator Virtual Connection (OVC)

• External Network Network Interfaces (ENNIs) at the CEN boundaries

• Point-to-Point or Multipoint-to-Multipoint OVCs provide the connectivity

• Can support all EVC-based services (i.e., ‘Private’ and ‘Virtual Private’)

• Multi-CoS capable

• Service OAM support

MEF 54: Ethernet Interconnect Points (EIP) Project• Launched in November 2014, EIPs will be used to interconnect CE Networks, not just at the

ENNI level. EIP is a mode of operation.

• Implementation Guidelines (currently in Letter Ballot) will cover from the physical ENNI to the LSO, including Service Operations Lifecycle and Product Lifecycle management.

• Migration from 100,000s of TDM “meet me” points to standardized Carrier Ethernet interconnects.
