Abstract
Under the Serving Area Concept, the area served by the central office is divided into smaller geographical entities known as serving areas. In response to uncertain demand for service, some cable pairs can be multipled, i.e., connected to more than one serving area. In this paper, we develop a stochastic model of the loop plant and demonstrate that the number of multipled pairs can be reasonably limited to about 10 to 20 percent of the total number of pairs available. We also show the robustness of this upper limit.
