Subject: Metro Etherent Forum Liaison L00038_000 regarding UNI Type 2 v3

Thank you for your liaison letter L00038_000.

With regard to IEEE P802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management, the UNI Type 2 v3 docuement makes no reference to that project.  However, ITU-T Y.1731 and CFM are compatible in operation, but one observation can be made:

The MEF should be aware that, if it is the intention of R34 to require that a UNI-N support a different configurable ME level for each UNI-N MIP corresponding to a Subscriber-ME, it generates a requirement for a significant amount of configuration information (4094 services times 3 bits) per UNI-N port.

I remain, sir,
Your obd't servant,
