"... an excellent reference for engineers and architects engaged in building tomorrow's networks. As a textbook for a challenging graduate level class, it could well lead the students in a number of exciting research directions." (Optics & Photonics News, April 2004)
* The key technology to delivering maximum bandwidth overnetworks is Dense Wave-length Division Multiplexing (DWDM)
* Describes in detail how DWDM works and how to implement a rangeof transmission protocols
* Covers device considerations, the pros and cons of variousnetwork layer protocols, and quality of service (QoS) issues
* The authors are leading experts in this field and providereal-world implementation examples
* First book to describe the interplay between the physical andIP (Internet Protocol) layers in optical networks
