Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) M. Jethanandani Request for Comments: 7818 Cisco Systems, Inc Category: Informational March 2016 ISSN: 2070-1721 URN Namespace for MEF Documents Abstract This document describes the Namespace Identifier (NID) "mef" for Uniform Resource Names (URNs) used to identify resources published by MEF Forum (https://www.mef.net). MEF specifies and manages resources that utilize this URN identification model. Management activities for these and other resources types are handled by the manager of the MEF Assigned Names and Numbers (MANN) registry. Status of This Memo This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes. This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community.

Introduction The MEF Forum (MEF) is a nonprofit international industry standards organization dedicated to the worldwide adoption of Carrier Ethernet (CE) networks and services. The forum creates specifications in the areas of Services, Architecture, and Operations and Management. As part of these specifications efforts, there is a need to identify identifiers in a managed namespace that are unique and persistent. To ensure that this namespace's uniqueness is absolute, a registration of a specific URN Syntax [RFC2141] Namespace Identifier (NID) for use by MEF is being specified in this document. 1.1.
