Abstract
Techniques for qualifying on-ramp facilities of a networking system in which a PON is included include obtaining indications of a new service location and a set of required services to be provided via the PON at the new service location, and filtering, based on geospatial coordinates of the location, a set of on-ramp facilities to obtain a group of candidate on-ramp facilities for the new service location, where each candidate on-ramp facility is optically connected to a respective serving office via a respective physical polyline route within the PON. The techniques additionally include selecting, from among the group of candidate on-ramp facilities and based on the required services, an on-ramp facility for providing the required services to the new service location, and optionally causing one or more services to be delivered from a serving office of the PON to the new service location via the selected on-ramp facility.
