Optical Switching Networks

Optical Switching Networks describes all the major switching paradigms developed for modern optical networks, discussing their operation, advantages, disadvantages, and implementation. Following a review of the evolution of optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks, an overview of the future of optical networks is set out. The latest developments of techniques applied in optical access, local, metropolitan, and wide area networks are covered, including detailed technical descriptions of generalized multiprotocol label switching, waveband switching, photonic slot routing, optical flow, burst, and packet switching | . 7 Martin Maier . 8 . v optical Switching Networks o J O www.cambridge.org 9780521868006 Cambridge Optical Switching Networks Optical Switching Networks describes all the major switching paradigms developed for modern optical networks discussing their operation advantages disadvantages and implementation. Following a review of the evolution of optical wavelength division multiplexing WDM networks an overview of the future of optical networks is set out. The latest developments of techniques applied in optical access local metropolitan and wide area networks are covered including detailed technical descriptions of generalized multiprotocol label switching waveband switching photonic slot routing optical flow burst and packet switching. The convergence of optical and wireless access networks is also discussed as are the IEEE 802.17 Resilient Packet Ring and IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet passive optical network standards and their WDM upgraded derivatives. The feasibility challenges and potential of next-generation optical networks are described in a survey of state-of-the-art optical networking testbeds. Animations showing how the key optical switching techniques work are available via the Web as are lecture slides. This authoritative account of the major application areas of optical networks is ideal for graduate students and researchers in electrical engineering and computer science as well as practitioners involved in the optical networking industry.
