I started with this article, since it had a link 802.1ag,on the requested articles page. That article 802.1ag, which really isn't any particular IEEE standard. 802.1 governs networking in general, while 802.11 is wireless networking standards. The a and g suffixes are sub-standards which govern a set of frequency and methods. This article just isn't clean, and needs organized, or possibly just deleted, due to the lack of detail in the title.

The very first link "ITU-T Recommendation Y.1731" doesn't link to a page covering the specific standard Y.1731, rather a general page about ITU-T. Needs to be fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JFRich (talk • contribs) 15:56, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On the MEP sub-types at least used commercially, are UP and Down MEP, there is no clear simple explanation. But did find this to be useful; http://www.m0rd0r.eu/ccms-and-mep-types/ , as a summary it is related to the direction of the CCM packets sent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awaystealth (talk • contribs) 20:48, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What does OAM stand for? If something is being formalized, doesn't that imply that it isn't finished, and therefore "This allows" should be changed to "This will allow..."? I know that "LAN" stands for "Local Area Network", but what's an 802.1 bridge, and can a phrase of few words be inserted to help identify it? (The opening sentence appeared to be incomplete. I assume that's intentional, leading into the list, so I've change the punctuation to reflect that.) Which OAM is the one indicated here? Does the O stand for Oracle? Object? In "Per Service/VLAN OAM", how does that slash work? Are there three different subjects being discussed here, one about "service layer," one about "per service," and one about ethernet?
