Optical Network Design and Planning (Optical Networks)

Optical Network Design and Planning (Optical Networks)

This book takes a pragmatic approach to deploying state-of-the-art optical networking, while also covering recent research results.  Algorithms and methodologies related to routing, regeneration, wavelength assignment, sub-rate traffic grooming, and protection are presented, with an emphasis on optical-bypass-enabled (or all-optical) networks.  The second edition includes coverage of:<br /><ul><li><div><span><span><span> </span></span></span>Dynamic optical networking</div></li><li><div><span><span><span> </span></span></span>Multi-domain networks</div></li><li><div><span><span><span> </span></span></span>Flex-grid, gridless, and elastic optical networks</div></li><li><div> New physical-layer technology (e.g., coherent detection) and its impact on network design</div></li><li><div>ROADM architectures and features, including the colorless, directionless, contentionless and gridless properties</div></li><li><div>Algorithms for cloud computing</div></li><li><div>Software-Defined Networking</div></li><li><div>Energy efficiency</div></li></ul>Numerous case studies are presented using three reference networks (the topology files for the networks are provided on a web site, for further studies by the reader).<span>  </span>Exercises and suggestions for further research have been added in the second edition, making the book suitable as the primary text for a graduate-level course.
