Fiber ISPs

Trace a fiber complaint from the PON to the subscriber

Combine shared-capacity control with circuit-level evidence so support can investigate access congestion, upstream changes, and subscriber-specific symptoms.

Give the shared bottleneck its own limit

Illustrative download limits, not sizing recommendations. Active circuits compete within each configured parent limit, even when their individual plan rates add up to more.

  1. 01Shared uplink: 2 Gbps

    An explicit limit on this part of the configured path.

  2. 02OLT / PON parent: 1 Gbps

    An explicit limit on this part of the configured path.

  3. 03Competing circuits: 300 Mbps each

    An explicit limit on this part of the configured path.

  4. 04Flow queues within each circuit

    CAKE manages competing flows within each circuit.

Control shared PON and uplink capacity

Represent shared fiber capacity in the hierarchy and nest subscriber circuits under the appropriate parent.

  • Explicit limits above the subscriber
  • Topology matched to your integration
  • Throughput and queue context together

Preserve per-subscriber fairness

Keep per-flow fairness inside each circuit while enforcing the subscriber plan and the shared parent envelope.

  • CAKE queue management
  • Per-circuit minimum and maximum rates
  • Evidence of queue pressure under load

Separate the scope of a support issue

Compare the affected subscriber with the parent branch and neighboring circuits. Correlate transport symptoms with your optical and home-network tools.

  • RTT, retransmits, and Quality of Outcome (QoO)
  • Local circuit investigation and Insight history
  • Evidence for the next check, rather than an automatic optical diagnosis

Local operator console

Check the parent, then follow its circuits

Compare configured and effective limits with live quality signals. Follow the affected branch into circuit investigation, then use Insight history when the problem has already passed.
