and are measured in bits per second, whereas CBR and EBR are measured in bytes per
second. MEF10.1 [43] specifies three levels of bandwidth profile compliances. Green
represents service frames within the limits of CIR/CBR and will be guaranteed (i.e.,
subject to SLA). Yellow represents service frames exceeding CIR/CBR but within EIR/
EBR. These are allowed but not subject to SLA. Red represents service frames
exceeding EIR/EBR which are not allowed and will result in packet loss.
In addition to Ethernet service attribute model definition, MEF technical docu-
ments also cover the aspects of control plane, management plane [44], circuit
emulation on Ethernet [45], mobile data back hauling using Ethernet, protection
switching etc. Because of space limitation, ...
