MEF has put the finishing touches on its SD-WAN services standard, and expects to have it published in mid-July. MEF first announced its MEF 3.0 SD-WAN Service Attributes and Service Definition Standard project at the MEF 18 conference last fall.
Similar to what MEF did with Carrier Ethernet, the standard defines a common terminology and the various attributes for an SD-WAN service.
In short, the SD-WAN service standard describes SD-WAN as a service instead of defining the technologies that make up SD-WAN. With more than 60 SD-WAN vendors, the SD-WAN service standard seeks to induce some commonality between buyers and sellers.
