1. A method, comprising:
obtaining, by one or more processors, an indication of a new service location of a passive optical network (PON);
detecting, by the one or more processors, a physical polyline route, within the PON, from an on-ramp facility corresponding to the new service location to a serving office of the PON,
the on-ramp facility included in a plurality of on-ramp facilities,
the detecting based on (i) respective geospatial locations of a plurality of optical components of the PON, and (ii) interconnections of the plurality of optical components,
the plurality of optical components including the on-ramp facility, a network serving equipment disposed at the serving office, and at least one optical fiber optically connecting the on-ramp facility and the network serving equipment, and
the detecting including determining that a respective metric of the on-ramp facility is greater than respective metrics of at least some of the plurality of on-ramp facilities, the respective metrics calculated based on information indicative of one or more characteristics of the plurality of on-ramp facilities; and
causing, by the one or more processors, end-user services to be delivered from the service office to the new service location via the detected physical polyline route.
