General Guidelines for Provisioning Ethernet Services
When provisioning Ethernet services, it is recommended to follow these guidelines:
Use the same Service ID for all service fragments along the path of the service.
Do not re-use the same Service ID within the same region. A region is defined as consisting of
all PTP 820 devices having Ethernet connectivity between them.
Use meaningful EVC IDs.
Give the same EVC ID (service name) to all service fragments along the path of the service.
Do not reuse the same EVC ID within the same region.
It is recommended to follow these guidelines for creating service points:
Always use SNP service points on NNI ports and SAP service points on UNI ports.
For each logical interface associated with a specific service, there should never be more than a
single service point.
The transport VLAN ID should be unique per service within a single region. That is, no two
services should use the same transport VLAN ID.
