The ITU
has been very active in the Architecture, Service, and Management areas; it has not
only leveraged the efforts from the other standards bodies??”for instance, the MEF for
the Ethernet services definition, the IEEE for Management??”but has also augmented
it by, for instance, adding Performance Management to its Management standard to
address the requirements of its constituency.

The detailed specifications are, of course, vastly outside the scope of this book but
they are referenced in sufficient detail in the context of defining Carrier Ethernet
services and its underlying five attributes.
