Low Dimensional Structures Prepared by Epitaxial Growth or Regrowth on Patterned Substrates

Network Recovery is the first book to provide detailed information on protecting and restoring communication networks, and it sets a sky-high standard for any that may follow. Inside, you’ll learn specific techniques that work at each layer of the networking hierarchy—including optical, SONET-SDH, IP, and MPLS—as well as multi-layer escalation strategies that offer the highest level of protection. The authors begin with an incisive introduction to the issues that define the field of network protection and restoration, and as the book progresses they explain everything you need to know about the relevant protocols, providing theoretical analyses wherever appropriate. If you work for a network-dependent organization, large or small, you’ll want to keep Network Recovery within reach at all times. * Shows you how to implement protection and recovery techniques that will save your organization time and money. * Documents techniques for the optical, SONET-SDH, IP, and MPLS layers, as well as multi-layer escalation strategies. * Shows you how to evaluate these techniques in relation to one another, so you can develop an optimal network recovery design. * Provides industry examples and simulation results. * Delves into the inner workings of relevant protocols and offers theoretical analyses wherever this information contributes to your practical knowledge.

Protection and Restoration of Optical, SONET-SDH, IP, and MPLS

Network Recovery

Network recovery is of immense and growing interest to every telecom company, Internet service provider, and medium to large enterprise that requires a high degree of network availability to carry more and more sensitive traffic (Internet, Virtual Private Network, voice traffic, etc.). Providing a working knowledge of the various network protection and restoration techniques and how they can be practically deployed is the main purpose of this book.

This work addresses the topic of optical networks cross-layer design with a focus on physical-layer-impairment-aware design. Contributors captures both the physical-layer-aware network design as well as the latest advances in service-layer-aware network design. Treatment of topics such as, optical transmissions which are prone to signal impairments, dense packing of wavelengths, dispersion, crosstalk, etc., as well as how to design the network to mitigate such impairments, are all covered.
