Features: This book comprehensively introduces the driving forces behind the demand for optical internetworking, optical transport network technology, layered network architecture, node structure design, networking techniques, and network optimization design. Building on this foundation, it provides a detailed elaboration on intelligent optical network technologies, including the architecture of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), traffic engineering, and the extension of MPLS to optical networks. It particularly highlights a cutting-edge technology in the field of high-speed broadband communications: a novel optical internetworking technology that integrates MPLS traffic engineering control technology and label switching technology into optical networks. The book focuses on four innovative optical internetworking implementation schemes: the router + WDM optical network scheme (also known as Packet-over-WDM technology), the Multiprotocol Wavelength Label Switching (MPLmS) scheme, the Label-Oriented Burst Switching (LOBS) implementation scheme, and the All-Optical Label Packet Switching (OLPS) technology. This book systematically collects the latest research achievements and materials on optical internetworking from around the world and summarizes the author's extensive research findings and experience in WDM optical networks, broadband IP networks, and IP-over-WDM technologies. The book features novel content, detailed explanations, and a strong systematic approach, with an effort to present complex topics in an accessible manner. It is suitable for engineers and marketing professionals with some knowledge of communication technology, as well as network professionals and students in technical institutions and universities who are studying optical networks and optical internetworking technologies.
