<br/><br/> "Written by leading authorities in optical networking, this book explores wide area wavelength-division multiplexing now that commercial deployment is at hand. After an overview of the enabling technology, the authors focus on methodologies for network analysis, control, design, and protection from a layered multiwavelength network architecture point of view."--BK JACKET. "Procedures for network control and design are covered for each category of network and are illustrated with examples. The emphasis here is on the fundamental role of available network resources - optical spectrum, fiber topology, and switching node and access station functionality - in determining network performance."--BK JACKET.
