After a successful “CE 1.0 Certification” program, the MEF began the CE 2.0 certification last year to focus on a longer list of critical attributes. CE 2.0 expands the certification to address class of service, manageability and interconnect for four service types that include E-LINE, E-LAN, E-TREE and E-ACCESS. “CE 2.0 certification requires months of collaboration, network setup and testing,” [![DukeNet Communications, Duke Net, Metro Ethernet Forum, MEF, Carrier Ethernet 2.0 Certification, CE 2.0 Certification, E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree, E-Access, David Herran, Nan Chen](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png "MEF")](https://blog.jsa.net/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/MEF.jpeg)explained David Herran, DukeNet’s Vice President of Network Architecture and Technology Planning. “CE 2.0 certification gives us the ability to confidently tell our customers that we can interconnect without issue.
