Résumé

The tremendous growth of bandwidth-intensive services such as the World Wide Web demonstrates the increase in performance that applications will demand from future networks. To meet this demand, optical networks are being deployed and are emerging as the next generation of high-capacity, multi-protocol networks. Engineers in communications and fiber optics, networking professionals, and graduate students in networking courses will benefit from this book's unique coverage of the systems aspect of optical networks.

Features:

Provides a thorough presentation of the physical, architectural, and algorithmic issues of optimal network systems
Covers both wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) and time-division multiplexed (TDM) networks as well as SONET
Provides an in-depth treatment of the design of advanced optical fiber transmission systems
Discusses management and control of optical networks
Covers the important aspects of established and emerging standards
