In that spirit, the Forwarding Element Manager (FEM) is modelled by creating a Logical Functional Block (LFB) to represent its functionality. We refer to this LFB as the FE Configuration (FEC) LFB. A Control Element (CE) that controls a Forwarding Element's (FE) resources can also manage its configuration via the FEC LFB. This document introduces the FEC LFB, an LFB that specifies the configuration parameters of an FE.}, }
