Product Description
Tomorrow's "best-of-breed" networks will combine fiber optics with Internet protocols to deliver unprecedented performance and manageability. Next Generation Optical Networks is the first comprehensive guide to optical IP networks for both the electrical and data networking engineers who must work together to build them. In this book, two Cisco engineers who are pioneering optical IP networking review the field from each key perspective: today's emerging standards, the state of the technology, and new enterprise and service provider applications. The authors show how Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) will enable powerful traffic engineering on optical IP networks. In particular, Next Generation Optical Networking presents an in-depth examination of the emerging Multiprotocol Lambda Switching Model (MPLms): its architecture, elements, and its role in real-time lightpath provisioning. The book also includes several detailed application case studies. For data networking engineers who understand IP and need to learn optical networking; and for electrical engineers who need to learn how to build IP intelligence into fiber optic networks.
Back Cover Copy
TomorrowÕs networks will integrate optical transmission and IP to deliver unprecedented performance and manageability. Next Generation Optical Networks gives both electrical and data networking engineers essential information for building these networks. It reviews emerging standards such as MPLS and MPLmS, key optical technologies, and critical applications for enterprise, ISP, and carrier environments.
Customer Reviews & Comments
Convergence and unification of protocols for optical networks is a must to bring next generation high-speed applications with low-costs to any individual customer. This book prepares the practitioning network-engineer and -designer optimally for this task: SDH/SONET vs. ATM vs. MPLS is today's struggle for unified protocols in future fiber optic networks providing the delivery of any IP-service to the customer at low-cost and high quality of service. The book is strictly future oriented, well written and covers all relevant topics with sufficient depths, but is not overloaded with details. For those readers interested in more specific aspects, it provides a lot of "further readings" and references. I have enjoyed reading "Next Generation Optical Networks" very much and it is always at hand at the pile top of my book shelf.
