Hi,
In agreement with below definitions in 802.1ag and Y.1731 and their
mappings.Will align the terminology definition in the draft with that of
802.1ag. Y.1731 has the terminology mapping to 802.1ag's as well.
Thanks,
Nabil

Dear Greg,
You responded:
IEEE 802.1ag interprets MEP and MIP as:
* Maintenance association End Point
* Maintenance domain Intermediate Point
Indeed, and MA == MEG, MD == ME.
Y.1731 interprets them as:
* Maintenance entity group (MEG) End Point
* MEG Intermediate Point
Correct.
The reference to MD Level implies reference to IEEE 802.1ag, at least
as
use of terminology, since Y.1731 doesn't have Maintenance Domain
construct and refers to the same value as MEG Level. I'd suggest to
follow one model, IEEE 802.1ag or Y.1731, terminology throughout the
document so that there's no need for re-mapping. I think that it is
easier to follow Y.1731.
I agree that this is the best.
These are the abbreviations used for MPLS-TP too.
Best regards, Huub.

All,
Some nits that need to be fixed:
ME Maintenance Entity
MEG Maintenance Entity Group
MEP Maintenance End Point
MEP "ME End Point" or "Maintenance Entity End Point"
MIP Maintenance End Point
MIP "ME Intermediate Point" or "Maintenance Entity Intermediate
Point"
3.2. Terminology
- MEP: Maintenance End Point is responsible for origination
and
termination of OAM frames for a given MEG.
- MEP: Maintenance Entity End Point is responsible for origination
- MIP: Maintenance Intermediate Point is located between peer
MEPs and
can process OAM frames but does not initiate or terminate them.
- MIP: Maintenance Entity Intermediate Point is located between
