Claim 0:
1. A method for detecting fiber port availability in a fiber distribution hub and generating fiber port recommendations, the method comprising:
detecting, by one or more processors and based at least on a fiber distribution record representative of port availability in a fiber distribution hub, one or more candidate ports in the fiber distribution hub;
transmitting, by the one or more processors, a first indication of a first selected port of the one or more candidate ports to a computing device;
detecting, by the one or more processors after transmitting the indication of the first selected port and in real time, that a termination unit associated with the fiber distribution hub has been disconnected;
responsive to detecting that the termination unit has been disconnected, automatically updating, by the one or more processors, the fiber distribution record such that the fiber distribution record is representative of an association between the termination unit and the first selected port; and
generating, by the one or more processors and based on detecting that the termination unit has been disconnected, a second indication of a second selected port of the one or more candidate ports.
