Enabling optical internet with advanced network technologies

This reference provides an overview of the key concepts related to the major issues of optical Internet, and studies traditionally and recently proposed optical switching paradigms. The concise coverage presents a detailed comparisonof optical switching technologies, and covers architectural issues together with topics such as signaling protocols and Quality of Service (QoS) provision.Additionally, the book provides deep insight into recent advances in optical circuit switching, optical packet switching (OPS) and optical burst switching (OBS) technologies; their performance advantages, their control-plane specifications, their enabling technologies, their applicability in today’s networks, and their cost benefits. Readers need only undergraduate background in computer communication networks on topics related to TCP/IP, SDH and MPLS networks. This text will be a valuable resource for advanced undergraduates, beginning graduates, and researchers studying communications in Engineering and Computer Science. Offers an overview of the key concepts related to the major issues of optical Internet in a concise yet comprehensive text, providing readers interested in this area with an ideal easy-to-follow reference/resource Focuses on optical burst and packet switching (OBS/OPS), a subject evolving rapidly, and covers all related key aspects with in-depth presentation INDICE: Introduction.- Introduction to IP over WDM.- Optical Packet Switching.- Optical Burst Switching.- Advanced Optical Burst Switched Network Concepts.- Optical Switch Fabrics and their Application.
