The MEF ENNI defines interface and service attributesnecessary for multiple operators to cooperate for the delivery ofCarrier Ethernet services and enables the Global Interconnection ofCarrier Ethernet services at Ethernet Network Exchange (ENX) pointsoperated by major network operators around the world.
