Figure 3 Procedure of creating MIPs
Figure 4 demonstrates a grading example of the CFD module. Four levels of MDs (0, 2, 3, and 5) are
designed. The bigger the number, the higher the level and the larger the area covered. MPs are
configured on the ports of Device A through Device F. Port 1 of Device B is configured with the following
MPs: a level 5 MIP, a level 3 inward-facing MEP, a level 2 inward-facing MEP, and a level 0
outward-facing MEP.

MEP list
A MEP list is a collection of local MEPs allowed to be configured and the remote MEPs to be monitored
in the same MA. It lists all the MEPs configured on different devices in the same MA. The MEPs all have
unique MEP IDs. When a MEP receives from a remote device a continuity check message (CCM) that
carries a MEP ID not included in the MEP list of the MA, it drops the message.
