-The objective of this project is to develop, document and validate OpenDaylight (ODL) northbound APIs and data models enabling fulfillment ​of MEF-defined Ethernet services through ODL and/or Open Stack.+The objective of this project is to develop, document and validate ​a new Ethernet Services Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO) feature plug-in for OpenDaylight (ODL) and northbound APIs that use the plug-in to expose capabilities ​of ODL to configure and fulfill ​MEF-defined Ethernet services ​in physical and virtual network components ​through ODL. The project will reference existing data models defined by MEF for Ethernet services ​and will develop new data model components if needed.
  
-In its initial phase this project will develop service provisioning data models ​and ODL northbound APIs for Ethernet Private Line (EPL) service as defined by MEF, as the first use case. Other use cases such as  Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) service and Ethernet LAN (ELAN) service provide opportunity for future extension.+In its initial phase this project will develop service provisioning data modelsODL plug-in for configuring User Network Interface (UNI) functionality in physical or virtual network elements, and northbound APIs for Ethernet Private Line (EPL) service as defined by MEF, as the first use case.

-The APIs and data models provide an interface for Ethernet services applications – including virtual network functions – to provision Ethernet services by configuring virtual or physical devices and the connections between them using OpenDaylight.+The APIs and data models provide an interface for Ethernet services applications – including virtual network functions – to provision Ethernet services by configuring virtual or physical devices and the connections between them using OpenDaylight. The RESTful interfaces exposed by the proposed APIs can be leveraged by other SDN controller platforms as well.
    
-The EVC Management Service ​and UNI Management ​Service APIs are established as foundation services for future Ethernet services use cases. MEF defines a UNI as the physical demarcation point between the responsibility of the Service Provider and the responsibility of the Subscriber. The UNI terminates connections between customer locations and some characteristics of the Ethernet service such as line rate are enforced at the UNI. The UNI must therefore be deployed and configured to support the Ethernet service. ​+The Ethernet Services Manager, ​EVC Manager, CoS Manager ​and UNI Management ​plug-in ​are established as foundation services for future Ethernet services use cases.

 MEF defines an Ethernet Virtual Connection as an association of two or more UNIs that limits the exchange of Service Frames to UNIs in the Ethernet Virtual Connection. The EVC creates the link between UNI and therefore is also necessary for the service. MEF defines an Ethernet Virtual Connection as an association of two or more UNIs that limits the exchange of Service Frames to UNIs in the Ethernet Virtual Connection.
