Beschreibung
Optical Network Design and Planning takes a pragmatic approach to deploying state-of-the-art optical networking equipment in metro-core and backbone networks. The ramifications of this technology are manifold, affecting the architecture, operation, and economics of the network, all of which are covered in the book. The book is oriented towards practical implementation, based on the author’s extensive experience with carrier networks and commercial telecommunications equipment.
Algorithms and methodologies related to routing, regeneration, wavelength assignment, subrate-traffic grooming, and protection are presented, with an emphasis on optical-bypass-enabled (or all-optical) networks. The focus is on techniques that have been proven to produce efficient results in realistic carrier networks. All of the algorithms presented scale well with network size so that they are suitable for real-time design. While the algorithms and architecture are the core of the content, the various optical network elements are covered as well, including a historical perspective and the implications of equipment evolution. The book has a large emphasis on the economics of optical networking, with a full chapter of economic studies that offer guidelines as to when and how optical-bypass technology should be deployed. The code for some of the routing algorithms is provided, which adds to the utility of the book.
Optical Network Design and Planning is for both practitioners and researchers in the field of optical networking. It is also suitable as a supplementary text for graduate students.
Telecommunications carriers have begun to upgrade their networks with state-of-the-art optical equipment, referred to as optical-bypass technology. The ramifications of this technology are manifold, affecting the architecture, operation, and economics of the network, all of which are covered in this book. The book is oriented towards practical implementation in metro and backbone networks, taking advantage of the author’s extensive experience with actual commercial equipment and carrier networks.
The book starts with an overview of optical networking, including an introduction to state-of-the-art optical networks. The second chapter covers legacy optical equipment and the new optical-bypass technology, with an emphasis on the architectural impact of the equipment. For example, the discussion covers how the various types of equipment affect the economics and flexibility of the network.
One of the challenges of optical-bypass technology is that it requires sophisticated algorithms in order to operate the network efficiently. Chapters three, four, and five describe such algorithms, where the focus is on techniques that have been proven to produce efficient results in realistic carrier networks. The design and planning strategies described in these chapters are readily implementable. All of the algorithms presented scale well with network size so that they are suitable for real-time design.
Chapters six and seven focus on two important aspects of optical networks, namely efficient bundling of the traffic and protection of the traffic. Rather than cover every aspect of these two subjects, the book focuses on how best to perform bundling and protection in the presence of optical-bypass technology. Again, the emphasis is on techniques that have proven effective in real network environments.
The final chapter explores the economics of optical networking. Several studies are presented that offer guidelines as to when and howoptical-bypass technology should be deployed.
The code for some of the routing algorithms is provided in the appendix, which adds to the utility of the book.
Addresses the need for a very pragmatic approach to deploying stateof-the-art optical networking equipment in metro and backbone networks through an architectural, algorithmic, and economic approach to optical networking Focuses on real-world networks because it is written from the perspective of someone who has extensive experience with commercial state-of-the-art networking technology Provides readily implementable methodologies for designing efficient optical networks Takes a pragmatic approach that makes it suitable for someone new to the optical networking field, as well as to professionals looking to directly apply the design and planning strategies Discusses optical networking equipment including a historical perspective along with the architectural implications of equipment evolution Emphasizes network cost, with a full chapter on economic studies Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

From the reviews:
"This is … nicely written tutorial book devoted to optical networking. … I recommend it to specialists working in companies planning to switch to full optical networks, but not having much experience in it. Also, graduate students will benefit from using it as an introductory book in the field." (Piotr Cholda, ACM Computing Reviews, April, 2009)
