SEPH: It depends where the contention lies. If it's at the line card, then resegmentation makes sense, failing which an additional or more powerful line card. If the contention is at the optical node, maybe an additional fibre. But usually the contention is due to the swamping of channel capacity due to oversubscription and thus peak time demand. Also the number of upstream channels is crucial to the avoidance of contention for gaming. The optical circuit itself, IMO, is unlikely to be the weakness. Only the number of channels it carries.

well just look at that - a website dedicated to cab spotters 
SEPH: Ha ha. I mapped the whole of Winnersh last year and that enabled me to work out the number of homes passed per cabinet and optical node. I did it first on Google Street View and then walked the streets for confirmation. The odd cabinet door was open as a photo opportunity but sadly no optical nodes had their doors open. |
