The SD-WAN Service Attributes and Service Framework Standard defines the externally visible behavior of a MEF SD-WAN Service.
A Service deployment is based on an agreement between an SD-WAN Subscriber (the buyer) and an SD-WAN Service Provider (the seller) that includes agreement on the values of a set of SD-WAN Service Attributes defined in this document.
This document includes:
SD-WAN Key Concepts – description of important components and concepts, i.e., the building blocks that are used to define and describe a MEF SD-WAN Service.
SD-WAN Service Attributes – the enumeration and description of the information that is agreed to between the SD-WAN Subscriber and the SD-WAN Service Provider. The values of these Service Attributes are determined by agreement between the Subscriber and Service Provider, subject to constraints imposed by this standard.
SD-WAN Service Framework – A framework for defining instances of an SD-WAN Service based on the definitions, service elements, and Service Attributes included in the document.
This document supersedes and replaces MEF 70.1, SD-WAN Service Attributes and Service Framework.
