The Metro Ethernet Forum, August 8, 2001

The
Metro Ethernet Forum was formed in June 2001 with a charter to
accelerate the adoption of optical Ethernet technology in metro
networks around the globe.
The group’s objectives are to maximize the deployment
of Ethernet-based metro networks by promoting standards and
interoperability. The
Metro Ethernet Forum plans to leverage existing standards and
technologies as much as possible and facilitate the development
of new standards, service definitions and operational agreements
necessary to bring multi-vendor optical Ethernet into metro
networks.
