What's the intended use of the Circuit ID? Internal ID, Stickered Customer CPE; Planning to carry other carriers circuits? With so many virtual components in circuits now, Where the circuit ID used to have some useful information, it's been largely reduced to a minimum amount of information

Excerpts from Colton Conor's message of August 21, 2017 10:26 pm: We are building a new fiber network, and need help creating a circuit ID format to for new fiber circuits. Is there a guide or standard for fiber circuit formats? Does the circuit ID change when say a customer upgrades for 100Mbps

I don't know if it has any relation to your issue, but we use Circuit-ID to uniquely identify the access node plus the customer's access loop logical port on the access node. Access node can be either a DSLAM, a switch, an OLT, etc. You may have a look at BBF's TR-101 (section 3.9.3) or TR-156
