This document describes how to extend the Forwarding and Control
Element Separation (ForCES) Logical Functional Block (LFB) topology
across Forwarding Elements (FEs) by defining the inter-FE LFB class.
The inter-FE LFB class provides the ability to pass data and metadata
across FEs without needing any changes to the ForCES specification.
The document focuses on Ethernet transport.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
