Layer 2 Terminology Conventions
In addition to E-Line and E-LAN services, two additional service types are available for Layer 2:
Frame Relay over MPLS (FRoMLS)
ATM over MPLS (ATMoMPLS)
These service types are not covered in the current MEF documentation, in spite of the fact that the MEF
has merged with the Frame Relay forum.
Formerly, another terminology was used by the MEF for Layer 2 services. Table E-3 maps the older
terminology to the current one.
For additional information about MEF conventions and additional useful background information on
Metro Ethernet standards, see the MEF website at the following URL:
http://metroethernetforum.org
In particular, see the document Metro Ethernet Services Definitions Phase 2 available under the section
Information Center > MEF Technical Specifications on the MEF website for a useful presentation of
Metro Ethernet terms and definitions.
