Each service point for a Point-to-Point or Multipoint service can be either a Service Access Point (SAP) or a Service
Network Point (SNP). A Point-to-Point service can also use Pipe service points.
•
An SAP is equivalent to a UNI in MEF terminology and defines the connection of the user network with its
access points. SAPs are used for Point-to-Point and Multipoint traffic services.
•
An SNP is equivalent to an NNI or E-NNI in MEF terminology and defines the connection between the network
elements in the user network. SNPs are used for Point-to-Point and Multipoint traffic services.
•
A Pipe service point is used to create traffic connectivity between two ports in a port-based manner (Smart
Pipe). In other words, all the traffic from one port passes to the other port.
Management services utilize Management (MNG) service points.
A Point-to-Point or Multipoint service can hold up to 32 service points. A management service can hold up to 30
service points.
