CIM_NextServiceAfterMeter
This association describes a predecessor-successor relationship between a MeterService and one or more ConditioningService objects that process traffic from the meter. For example, for devices that implement preamble marking, the FollowingService reference (after the meter) is a PreambleMarkerService - to record the results of the metering in the preamble.

It might be expected that the NextServiceAfterMeter association would subclass from NextService. However, meters are 1:n fan-out elements, and require a mechanism to distinguish between the different results/outputs of the meter. Therefore, this association defines a new key property, MeterResult, which is used to record the result and identify the output through which this traffic left the meter.

Parameters (local in grey)
Key
CIM_ConditioningService REF FollowingService ;
The 'next' or following ConditioningService.
ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" }
Values { "Unknown" , "Conforming" , "Partially Conforming" , "Non-Conforming" }
Key
uint16 MeterResult ;
Information on the result of the metering. Traffic is distinguished as being conforming, non-conforming, or partially conforming. More complicated metering can be built either by extending the enumeration or by cascading meters.
Key
CIM_MeterService REF PrecedingService ;
The preceding MeterService, 'earlier' in the processing sequence for a packet.
