Description
H/SONET Explained in Functional Models represents a freshapproach to the modeling of transport network technologies. Thispractical guide and reference text uncovers the description of SDH(Synchronous Digital Hierarchy), SONET (Synchronous OpticalNetwork) and OTN (Optical Transport Network) transport networks andequipment using functional/atomic modeling techniques. It clearlyexplains the use of models in the ITU-T and ETSI standards, thetransport networks and the transport equipment in the definition,implementation and deployment phase.
* Pays particular attention to the SDH and OTN standards usingfunctional/atomic modeling, as used and defined in the ITU-T(International Telecommunication Union) recommendations G.805 andG.809 and the ETSI (European Telecommunications StandardsInstitute) standards EN 300 417, as opposed to the formal languageused in the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standardT1.105.
* Topics of discussion range from functional modeling high leveltransport networks to the most detailed device functions, aided bya variety of figures and tables.
* Shows that functional modeling is not restricted to SDH/SONETbut that is can be used to describe any transport network,connection-oriented and connectionless, e.g. Ethernet and MPLSnetworks.
* Written by a leading authority in the area, this is the firstbook dedicated to the novel approach of using functional modelingto describe SDH/SONET/OTN networks.
This volume will appeal to manufacturers, engineers and allthose involved in developing and deploying SDH, SONET, OTN,Ethernet, MPLS technology. It will be an invaluable resourcefor postgraduate students on network communications courses andadvanced users using functional modeling.

Person
Huub van Helvoort has an M.S.c. in Electrotechnical Engineering from the Technical University of Eindhoven in 1977. He has worked at Philips Telecommunication Industries, AT&T, and as System Architect for Lucent technologies working on ISM successors ADM16/1 and Metro ADM (2nd and 3rd generation SDH equipment). In addition he has taught telecommunication technology to post graduate students at the University of Utrecht. The standardisation of VCAT, LCAS and GFP was one of Helvoort's major achievements. He was the representative for Lucent on these subjects in the international standards body ITUT and the regional standards bodies ANSI T1X1.5 and ETSI TM. He was the editor if ITU-T recommendations G.707, G.783, G.7042. He chaired the working group TM1 and TM1-WP3 in ETSI and of the ETSI standard EN 300 417.
