Find out everything you need to know about how current networkswill have to evolve to provide for future broadband services
In this book, the authors provide an overview of the status,challenges, architectures, and technological solutions for core andmetropolitan networks. Furthermore, the book describes the currentstate of core and metropolitan telecommunication networks, as wellas the drivers and motives behind the current paradigm shift in thetelecommunications industry. Moreover, the authors elaborate systemdesign guidelines for both point-to-point and multi-hop opticalnetworks taking into consideration the analogue nature of thetransmission channel.
Key Features:
* Provides coverage of all aspects of core and metro networkssupporting future broadband services, and a detailed description ofthe state-of-the-art
* Presents a clear path for migrating from point-to-point to data-centric, dynamic, multi-hop optical networks
* Shows how current systems will need to evolve over the comingyears, summarizing challenges and issues to be investigated infuture research
* Covers a wide range of topics from network architectures, tocontrol plane, to key optical and optoelectronic devices, and bestpractice in transmission and system design
* Provides results, best practices and guidelines for varioustechnical problems, including numerous hands-on examples
* Written by authors from cutting-edge companies such asAlcatel-Lucent, Siemens, Lucent, France Telecom, BT, andTelefonica
Optical Core and Metro Networks will be of interest toresearchers in industry and academia, and advanced (final yearundergraduate) and postgraduate students undertakingcommunications, networking and optics courses.
