All,
At some point during the last meeting, the conversation turned to whether a 100G device (OLT or ONU) with some channels disabled was still a 100G device or a 25G/50G device and whether such device would satisfy our objectives. I remember Frank's remark that we need to have a discussion on the 100G-EPON nomenclature. The first attached presentation (kramer_3ca_1_0616_configurations_2.pdf) is an attempt to start this discussion.
The second presentation (kramer_3ca_1_0616_upgrades.pdf) looks at various OLT and ONU upgrade scenarios and tries to answer a question whether keeping 25G line card and adding a separate 50G/100G line card is better or worse than just replacing the 25G line card with 50G/100G line card.
Looking forward to our call tomorrow.
Glen
