This book takes a pragmatic approach to deploying state-of-the-art optical networking
equipment in metro-core and backbone networks. The book is oriented towards practical …

Optical multilayer networks offer a high degree of freedom in network design, adapting to
actual network requirements (demand types, topologies, etc.) and achieving cost-efficient …

With high-bandwidth and on-demand applications continuing to emerge, next-generation
core optical networks will require significant improvements in capacity, configurability, and …

Transport networks evolved from DCS (Digital Cross-connect Systems)-based mesh
architectures, to SONET/SDH (Synchronous Optical Networking/Synchronous Digital …

The present market scenario demands an integration of process planning and scheduling to
stay competitive with others. In the present work, an integrated process planning and …

Instrument Engineers' Handbook, Third Edition: Volume Three: Process Software and Digital
Networks provides an in-depth, state-of-the-art review of existing and evolving digital …

The emergence of new applications on the Internet like voice-over-IP, peer-to-peer, and
