Service management life cycle

The MEF introduced the Carrier Ethernet 2.0 (CE 2.0) generation framework to help service providers with a new standardized approach to delivering Carrier Ethernet-based services.

This white paper describes the life cycle of a CE 2.0 service instance from a service management perspective. Specifically the paper discusses:

• How CE 2.0 service management improves the day-to-day operations of service providers
• How service providers can use MEF specifications to successfully deliver CE 2.0 services while providing operational efficiencies that translate into opex savings.
