#berthmultiplexing
I was asked by many of you if I could frame down the definition to the above term and the tiny little intrinsic details associated with the same in a single blog for easy reference. So, here it goes:
Imagine:
a) A train which follows the route HWH-BWN-DHN-MGS-CNB-NDLS.
b)
...
more...
100 berths allocated for ARP Booking all the journey leg/s combined.
Now someone comes and books all the 100 berths for HWH-BWN. The availability status say enters RAC (RAC 1 being the current status).
Now again assume, someone else comes in and wants to book 10 tickets for BWN-DHN. He would get all his berths confirmed.
Confused? The status was at RAC 1. Isn't it?
Don't ponder over this again. It is very simple. Even though all the 100 berths were consumed up earlier, the booking was only till BWN leaving the rest of the portion vacant. So technically anyone can book 100 berths for BWN-NDLS or enroute.
This, precisely is #berthmultiplexing where a berth is split up into many parts and serves multiple passenger for multiple journey legs at the same time. (If anyone is familiar with the phrase "Multiplexing" in Computers, he can always relate these two).
This is one very important concept which forms the basis to almost all the phenomena that takes place in IR. What are those?
i) Confirmation through different quota.
ii) Splitting up various passengers in a single PNR into various quota for the same journey leg.
iii) #chartingatoriginatingstation
iv) #chartingatpreviousremotestation
So, when do we know that the berths are going to get forwarded? How does this happen actually? In what ways are the berths being used up?
Would answer to all these in my next post, once everyone is done understanding whatever is been written above.

Re# 876440-6              
Assuming that everyone has understood the previously discussed points, let me proceed with the last and final explanation.
#chartingatoriginatingstation
Now, I have explained above how #berthmultiplexing takes place which subsequently might lead to forwarding of berths. Now, the "forwarding" thing can happen during booking (Explained above) or even at chart preparation.
Imagine, a train which follows the route HWH-BWN-DHN-MGS-CNB-NDLS.
Now,
...
more...
say 150 berths are earmarked only for HWH-DHN section leaving the remaining portion vacant. I would also assume that there are 100 ARP berths for DHN-NDLS sector.
Now the difference we would notice here is that even though someone may book the 150 berths for HWH-DHN sector, berths would not get immediately forwarded. It would only be forwarded once chart is been prepared at HWH for HWH-DHN sector. That is once the chart gets prepared for HWH-DHN sector, the vacant portion of the berths DHN-NDLS would be immediately forwarded and this would result in atleast 50(150-100) confirmations of Waitlisted passengers between DHN-NDLS.
This further summarises that unlike the previous phenomena, we are unlikely to see variation in the waitlisted numbers during booking and confirmation would happen only during chart preparation. To let these confirmation take place it would not be necessary or mandatory for chart preparation to actually take place for DHN-NDLS sector. In such instances, the system would show something like:
Pass 1:
Confirmed (Booking Status [Originally in Waitlist], Quota)
Chart Not Prepared
Once chart is been prepared for DHN-NDLS sector, this would reflect as "Chart Prepared".
iv) #chartingatpreviousremotestation
Concept here is the same as previous one. Just, instead of HWH-DHN imagine this as BWN-DHN where BWN is an important remote station for this train and carried a lot of berths for its own and hence sees its own chart preparation.
BWN-DHN=> 150
DHN-NDLS=> 100
Remaining (150-100)=50 berths gets forwarded during chart preparation at DHN resulting in confirmation of waitlisted passengers ex-DHN or beyond as their boarding point/quota distribution might be.
This is all I had to say about #berthmultiplexing. Hope, I could make everyone understand about the tiny nitty-gritty of the same.
PS:- Do note that #berthmultiplexing applies for Tatkal too.
Thanks.

No. It is not possible to tell what may have actually happened. Only insight would be:
1) If booking status indicates as WL/RAC, chances are that the confirmed berth was allocated during chart preparation ex - New Delhi.
#chartingatoriginatingstation + #berthmultiplexing
2) If booking status indicates Confirm, chances are high that the confirmed berth was allotted right during booking. #berthmultiplexing
