    Hi All,

    Working on a refactoring/re-modelling and looking for a suggestion on how to create the PSR model for Layer 1 connectivity product like Dark Fiber. 
    Currently the A End Location and Z End location are modelled as child product, below is a snippet of current model.
    Here are my question:
    1) Is it advisable to model Location [ends of a connectivity] as product? Or use the relatedPlace/Place array for this purpose?
    2) Is it always necessary to CFS or RFS in the model?

    3)As i am not able to figure out the value in creating CFS and RFS for Dark Fiber, but make sense to directly relate to Resources, does it deviate from best practice?
    4)Currently, If a customer orders for 8 fiber strands then that results into 4 circuits [Resource inventory, in my view] for each pair of strands.  So in a modify scenario if they want to go down to 6 strands:
                1) should that be Product order with Change action? If so how should we refer the resources associated with product in TMF622 payload?
                2) should that a Resource Order with Disconnect for that pair of strands?
