Description
Telecommunications carriers have begun to upgrade their networks with state-of-the-art optical equipment, referred to as optical-bypass technology. The ramifications of this technology are manifold, affecting the architecture, operation, and economics of the network, all of which are covered in this book. The book is oriented towards practical implementation in metro and backbone networks, taking advantage of the author's experience with commercial equipment and carrier networks.
Reviews / Votes
From the reviews: "This is ... nicely written tutorial book devoted to optical networking. ... I recommend it to specialists working in companies planning to switch to full optical networks, but not having much experience in it. Also, graduate students will benefit from using it as an introductory book in the field." (Piotr Cholda, ACM Computing Reviews, April, 2009)More details
