Metropolitan Area WDM Networks: An AWG Based Approach provides a
comprehensive and technically detailed overview of the latest
metropolitan area WDM network experimental systems, architectures,
and access protocols. Its main focus is on the novel star WDM
networks based on a wavelength-selective Arrayed-Waveguide Grating
(AWG). Network researchers, engineers, professionals, and graduate
students will benefit from the thorough overview and gain an
in-depth understanding of current and next-generation metro WDM
networks.
The AWG based metro star WDM network is discussed at length and
extensively investigated by means of stochastic analyses and
simulations. The book provides:
*an up-to-date overview of ring and star metro WDM networks and
access protocols,
*in-depth performance comparison studies of AWG based multihop vs.
single-hop WDM networks and AWG vs. Passive Star Coupler based
single-hop WDM networks,
*a thorough description of the AWG based network and node
architectures and access protocols,
*a novel highly-efficient approach to provide survivability for
star WDM networks,
*extensive analytical results for both unicast and multicast
variable-size packet traffic and bandwidth on demand,
*supplementary simulation results, including packet header trace
files.
