Re: [802.3_EPOC] Questions on varanese_01_0912.pdf
Personally, I think that for the use case of residential services, there would be few OCUs/OLT port, yielding an effective number of CNUs/OLT port that is similar as the number of ONUs/OLT port. For business services, since the subscriber density is lower, there would be multiple OCUs/OLT port, and even in that case the number of CNUs/OLT port would be lower than for residential services. Does this make sense?
JD,
Ed,
Does what I describe make sense to you?
Thanks!
Jorge

Jorge,
Makes sense. Have you given a thought to bandwidth available per CNU in the case of “hundreds of CNUs per ONU” ? That seems that a single 10G OLT port might be shared by several thousands CNUs, leaving bandwidth per CNU less than attractive.
Just trying to see what the target scenario might be and what number of CNUs to expected subtended to a single OLT port

I wanted to share some thoughts on this…
I think that there are two deployment scenarios and two use cases that MSOs are considering. One of the deployment scenarios is where the OCU is deployed close/next to the node and the EPoC signals traverse amplifiers, and the second where the OCU is deployed past the amplifier. The two use cases are business and residential services.
For the use case of residential services, in the first deployment scenario there could be hundreds of CNUs per ONU, and in the second there would be far fewer CNUs/OCU. For the use case of business services, in either of the deployment scenarios there would be far fewer CNUs per ONU.
Does this make sense?
Thanks!

Dear colleagues,
Here are some questions on the varanese_01_0912.pdf presentation which did not get sufficient time for discussion. I’d appreciate if they were answered via reflector so that everybody benefits from these clarifications:
- How many taps have been examined in total in this study? I do not care much about names, types but rather to see what the sample size we are looking at and whether it is representative of a large network as a whole rather than a single CMT port or not.
[AG] I think it is mentioned in the slides, we have 140 subscriber (CNU) ports for the model, we considered all of them in the analysis. As you can see from the curves, since this is a model and small variability have not been included, SNR curves overlap when users are attached to same last splitter – in reality, the CDF is more continuous like shown in the measured valued, rather than step-wise. Does that answer your question?
[mh0928] This begs a question then. Is this a number of CNUs that you’d consider typical? What I am trying to understand whether the scenario that was presented is the worst-case, best case or average (what can be expected in majority of deployments)? Would it be possible for an operator to use more tailored service groups to optimize them for SNR performance and to avoid complicating the design of devices, allowing for more optimized performance, rather than complicating the design of active devices?
- What is the most probably SNR distribution for a much smaller population of CNUs connects to a single CLT port? I assume that you will see some difference in SNR but it is not very likely to be as high as it was presented at the meeting for the whole measured population of taps and ports.
[AG] That may be the case, depends on how the few users are distributed in the plant. However, the question is whether this would be representative of a realistic plant – measurements are over population of ~240 modems, so it seemed to us that 140 (already smaller) was in the correct ballpark. Do you see any use case for much smaller plants, we could include in the analysis?
[mh0928] This is something that operators should speak to. However, when I look at the OLT driven deployment model with several CLTs deployed in field, I’d not expect each CLT to be connected to 150+ CNUs. That would easily reach thousands of CNUs visible to a single OLT, which brings the available bandwidth down drastically, while burning a lot of bandwidth on scheduling overhead. I’d like to understand the trade-off here, that is all.
Please consider presenting more focused study for the next meeting, focusing on a number of drop sections to show what is expected to be seen on a single CLT port. While I am not against adaptive loading on per CLT port, I do not believe that this contribution has sufficient footing to justify adaptive loading on per CNU basis.
[AG] What we shown is one CLT port and 140 CNU ports attached for the modeled plant – for measured values, each plant is one node and ~240 CM all attached to the same coax distribution tree (Comcast may provide more clarifications in case) – we can make it more clear and improve in the next steps.
