5 Light Reading Ethernet Europe – Frankfurt – April MEF work to facilitate Cloud service delivery Extend services attributes to be more dynamic – E.g., Bandwidth on Demand Standardized Northbound APIs – Make Ethernet Services more programmable – Enable applications to query Ethernet service attributes, e.g., Bandwidth and Performance MEF collaborating with ONF – How to map an MEF Ethernet services into an ONF SDN architecture – Need orchestration across multiple operator domains Goal to accommodate traditional and SDN implementations

6 Light Reading Ethernet Europe – Frankfurt – April Summary Cloud Services have changed how we view Carrier Ethernet services MEF is evolving Ethernet Service attributes – To better support on-demand cloud service delivery – Supported via traditional or SDN implementations SDNs with virtualized network functions – may enable new applications or optimize current applications of MEF Ethernet services not possible with traditional network implementations
