  4. About Metro Ethernet Forum

    The Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) was founded in 2001. It is a non-profit international industry consortium, dedicated to worldwide adoption of Carrier Ethernet networks and services.

    The Forum is comprised of leading service providers, major incumbent local exchange carriers, top network equipment vendors and other prominent networking companies that share an interest in Metro Ethernet. It has 140 members as of January, 2008.

    The MEF is a combination of a technical and marketing forum to promote the adoption of Metro Ethernet. This is a key differentiator from common standard bodies such as the IETF and IEEE. The Forum makes recommendations to existing standards bodies and creates specifications that are not being developed by (or fall within the scope of) other standards bodies.
