Ethernet as a Service
• Ethernet as a networking protocol dominated Local Area Networks (LANs)
• Around 1998 a few innovative Service Providers wanted to differentiate themselves started to deploy Ethernet as a service
• Cogent, Telsion, Yipes… NTT
• At the time Ethernet was lacking the 5 Attributes of Carrier Ethernet
• Services based upon Enterprise-Class Ethernet Switches
• MEF defined Ethernet Services to improve existing service offering
• TDM Leased Lines
• Frame Relay Internet Access
• ATM Transparent LAN
• MEF defined Ethernet Services E-Line, E-LAN and E-Tree
MEF 5 Attributes of Carrier Ethernet

MEF Architecture Framework
• UNI: User Network Interface
The physical demarcation point between the responsibility of the Service Provider and the responsibility of the Subscriber
• ENNI: External Network to Network Interface
ENNI is the demarcation point between the service provider and the operator or between two operators

MEF CECP EXAM
CECP Exam Details
• Exam consists of 80 questions, 70 of which are scored
• 10 Topic Areas
• Carrier Ethernet Service Definitions• Access• Transport• Basic Definitions• UNI & ENNI, EVC & OVC Service Attributes• Service Certifications• Applications• Comparing Ethernet with other L2 and L3 Services• Circuit Emulation Services• Service OAM
• Candidates must achieve 63% to pass
Example Question - Section 1
A customer with three locations requests Ethernet service for very transparent connectivity between the locations. Which service would best meet this requirement?
A. A single Ethernet Private LAN (EP-LAN)
B. A single Ethernet Virtual Private LAN (EVP-LAN)
C. A single Ethernet Private Tree (EP-Tree)
D. A single Ethernet Virtual Private Tree (EVP-Tree)
Example Question - Section 1

A. A single Ethernet Private LAN (EP-LAN)
B. A single Ethernet Virtual Private LAN (EVP-LAN)
C. A single Ethernet Private Tree (EP-Tree)
D. A single Ethernet Virtual Private Tree (EVP-Tree)
The requirement for a multi-point service with very transparent connectivity makes the EP-LAN the best choice due to
the full mesh connectivity, the Service Provider being prevented from CE-VLAN ID or CoS manipulation and the ability to
