Mplify Alliance
The Mplify Alliance, originally Metro Ethernet Forum and later MEF Forum, is a nonprofit international industry consortium, of network, cloud, and technology providers. It was originally dedicated to Carrier Ethernet networks and services, and in recent years, significantly broadened its scope, which now includes underlay connectivity services such as Optical, Carrier Ethernet, IP, along with overlay digital services including SD-WAN Services, as well as APIs to support orchestration of the service lifecycle (termed Lifecycle Service Orchestration, or LSO APIs based on MEF 55 Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO): Reference Architecture and Framework, for connectivity and digital services).
