Features: This book consists of Chapters 0 to 12 and an appendix. Chapter 0 briefly introduces the architecture of global communication networks, existing problems and crises, as well as development trends and prospects. Chapter 1 introduces the characteristics and basic principles of DWDM, the concept and classification of DWDM networks, and explains the technical differences between the WDM and DWDM concepts. Chapter 2 introduces the network structure, features, and medium access control protocols (MAC) of broadcast and selective DWDM networks. Chapter 3 covers the structure of wavelength-routing DWDM networks, routing and wavelength allocation issues, node wavelength conversion issues, and multi-fiber network design issues. Chapter 4 introduces the concepts and methods of virtual topology design in DWDM networks. Chapter 5 describes the experimental network situations of wavelength-routing DWDM networks. Chapter 6 discusses the survivability and protection issues of DWDM networks. Chapter 7 covers the control and management issues of DWDM networks. Chapter 8 introduces the QoS problems of optical networks and an overview of automatic switching optical network (ASON) technology. Chapter 9 presents the concept, architecture, and routing algorithms of IPoverDWDM networks. Chapter 10 introduces the concept and key technologies of optical packet switching networks. Chapter 11 briefly outlines the standard development and product situations of DWDM. Chapter 12 covers the applications of DWDM technology. The appendix provides a simple introduction to the relevant mathematical knowledge required for reading this book.
