    Description ( 
       "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. \n"

       "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." )]
