Introduction
This presentation is an introduction to both MEF 6 and MEF 10
MEF 6 defines the Ethernet service types
MEF 10 Defines the service attributes and parameters required
to offer the services defined in MEF 6

SLA Specification:
Service performance parameters
Frame delay (one-way delay)
Frame delay variation (jitter)
Frame loss
34
Frame Delay
This is measured as the time taken for service frames across the network
Frame Delay is measured from the arrival of the first bit at the ingress UNI to the output of the
last bit of the egress UNI. I.e. an end-to-end measurement as the customer views it.
Frame Delay Variation is therefore the variation in this delay for a number of frames. This delay
is an important factor in the transmission of unbuffered video and where variation occurs in the
millisecond range can affect voice quality. For data can cause a number of undesirable effects
such as perceived frame loss, etc
Note: The term Jitter is not an appropriate term to be substituted from Frame Delay Variation
Note: The MEF expresses performance of delay and delay variation in percentage terms
Note: For most purposes one way delay (rather than round trip delay) is required to establish service
quality
