Research and development on optical wavelength-division
multiplexing (WDM) networks have matured considerably. While optics
and electronics should be used appropriately for transmission and
switching hardware, note that "intelligence'' in any network comes
from "software, '' for network control, management, signaling,
traffic engineering, network planning, etc.The role of software in
creating powerful network architectures for optical WDM networks is
emphasized.
Optical WDM Networks is a textbook for graduate level courses.
Its focus is on the networking aspects of optical networking, but
it also includes coverage of physical layers in optical networks.
The author introduces WDM and its enabling technologies and
discusses WDM local, access, metro, and long-haul network
architectures. Each chapter is self-contained, has problems at the
end of each chapter, and the material is organized for self study
as well as classroom use. The material is the most recent and
timely in capturing the state-of-the-art in the fast-moving field
of optical WDM networking.
