MEF-CECP Study Guide for Carrier Ethernet Professionals: Updated for MEF-CECP Certification Blueprint C

This third edition of Fujitsu's popular MEF-CECP study guide has been updated to align with MEF-CECP Certification Blueprint C (the document that governs MEF-CECP exam material from October 2015 until it is superseded). Like previous editions of the study guide, this edition is designed for two purposes: to help you prepare for the MEF-CECP exam and to serve a practical general reference book explaining MEF-defined Carrier Ethernet concepts and standards. The guide features careful explanations, numerous custom color graphics, and more than 200 practice questions. The study guide assumes that you have a basic understanding of Ethernet, but no prior knowledge of Carrier Ethernet. The guide covers all topics that are included in the MEF-CECP exam (specified by Blueprint C). Material is presented systematically, beginning with MEF service definitions (the core content that accounts for most exam questions) and building outward. Each lesson ends with a set of multiple-choice review questions similar to those appearing in the MEF-CECP exam. Content in this edition of the study guide has been expanded, restructured, and revised to align with MEF-CECP Certification Blueprint C. Core lessons have been updated to align with recently published MEF standards (6.2, 10.3 and 45) that refine and augments Carrier Ethernet service definitions and attributes.

About the Author
Jon Kieffer (MEF-CECP) is a principal technical writer working for Fujitsu Network Communications since 2001. Previous to that, Jon taught software engineering at the University of Hull, U.K., and mechanical engineering at the Australian National University. Jon holds BS, MS, and PhD degrees in mechanical engineering and has authored 12 refereed journal articles and more than 30 conference papers in the fields of mechanical and controls engineering. The MEF recognized Jon as an outstanding contributor for contributions to the MEF-CECP program in 2014 and again in 2015. In 2015, Jon received the MEF Marketing Committee Editors Award for coediting the MEF white paper Understanding Bandwidth Profiles in MEF 6.2 Service Definitions. Ralph Santitoro is a MEF founding member, board member and Distinguished Fellow who regularly contributes to projects in all MEF committees. Ralph created the MEF's Carrier Ethernet Professional Certification Program, co-developed the MEF-CECP exams and co-authored the industry's first MEF-CECP exam study guide. Ralph was editor of MEF 6, the industry's first Ethernet Services Definitions specification, and authored the MEF's Ethernet services primer with over 100,000 copies downloaded. Ralph has been a catalyst behind the MEF's Third Network Vision transforming the organization's scope to define multi-layer, multi-domain, Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) automated via lifecycle service orchestration (LSO). Over the past 10 years, Ralph has lectured and conducted seminars at over 70 international events and has published over 30 papers covering Carrier Ethernet, NaaS, Virtual Network Services, Network Virtualization, SDN, LSO, Cloud Computing, QoS, and Cybersecurity. At Fujitsu, Ralph develops solutions using Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) that virtualize and orchestrate network functions to deliver on-demand virtual network services.
