Hello Nabil,

Greg is almost right.

RDI == Remote Defect Indication

This is the abbreviation used in IEEE 802.1ag, Y.1731, G.707, G.8121
and rfc6428.

Regards, Huub.
====

can we avoid different interpretation of the same abbreviation (RDI):

RDI   Remote Defect Indication for Continuity Check Message

RDI   Reverse Defect Indication

AFAIK, the latter form is the interpretation used by both IEEE 802.1ag
and Y.1731. How useful is the first form?

Regards,

Greg

        3.2. Terminology____

    This document uses the following terms with corresponding
    definitions: ____

    - MD Level:Maintenance Domain (MD) Level which identifies a value in
    the range of 0-7 associated with Ethernet OAM frame. MD Level
    identifies the span of the Ethernet OAM frame.____

    - MEP:Maintenance End Point is responsible for origination and
    termination of OAM frames for a given MEG.____

    - MIP: Maintenance Intermediate Point is located between peer MEPs
    and can process OAM frames but does not initiate or terminate them.____

    Further, this document also uses the terminology and conventions
    used in [RFC6310].____



    Thanks,

    Nabil
