Hi, EVCs are used with CFM. In order to enable transparent flow of CFM packets through a service instance, you must associate the service instance with the evc. This is used only when the ME3600x/ME3800x itself, has globally enabled the CFM functionality. If CFM is not enabled on the device, then CFM frames are forwarded transparently without the specific evc config.
It's been a while since I used it, so some of the above may be outdated..
