Re: [802.3_EXTND_EPON] Loop lengths
Glen, et. al.
Although loop length may be shorter on average, the maximum loop lengths
hasn't changed much. One way to look at it is that the distribution of loop
lengths is such that, when viewed as a probability distribution as shown in
the PPT, the curve is flattened. Stated another way, the average may be
shorter, but the min, max, and median are about the same.

Subject: [802.3_EXTND_EPON] Loop lengths
Following up on the discussion at the meeting right now, here is an old
presentation from Verizon that showed their copper loop lengths. I don't
know if distribution of subscribers has changed significantly. Between 1983
and 1990, the loop lengths appear to shorten.
