MEGs

MEG description

Typically, a MEG represents one service and consists of a group of maintenance end points, or MEPs. Only one MEG can be associated with a service, but one service can be associated with multiple MEGs. MDs and MEGs are distributed to NEs using NFM-P policy distribution.

Within a MEG, MEPs can be sorted into logical groupings called MEG subgroups. A MEG that contains subgroups is called a Global MEG. By default, a Global MEG has one subgroup. MEG subgroups allow you to group managed MEPs and unmanaged remote MEPs so that Ethernet CFM can be directed to a specific area of a system, a MEG subgroup, rather than the entire system.
