I don't know if it has any relation to your issue, but we use Circuit-ID to uniquely identify the access node plus the customer's access loop logical port on the access node. Access node can be either a DSLAM, a switch, an OLT, etc. You may have a look at BBF's TR-101 (section 3.9.3) or TR-156 (section 5.7) for syntax guide . -- Tassos Colton Conor wrote on 21/8/17 23:26:
We are building a new fiber network, and need help creating a circuit ID format to for new fiber circuits. Is there a guide or standard for fiber circuit formats? Does the circuit ID change when say a customer upgrades for 100Mbps to 1Gbps port?
What do the larger carriers do? Any advice on creating a circuit ID format for a brand new fiber network?
Originally we ran a CLEC using a LECs copper, and our circuit ID was historically a telephone number for DSL circuits. The ILEC had a complex method for assigning circuit IDs.
I am sure anything will work as long as you keep track of it, but any advice would be great!
