Features: The rapid development of optical fiber communication means that the information carried on the fiber is also experiencing explosive growth, making the significance of protecting the services on the fiber even more substantial. This book explores various practical issues of survivability technologies in optical networks, with its main content including introductions to new concepts and technologies emerging in SDH self-healing rings and related fields in recent years, an introduction to network protection based on DXC mesh networks, an introduction to optical layer protection issues, and an introduction to DPT technology, among others. The book provides a detailed discussion on many aspects of self-healing rings and presents design examples of self-healing ring network engineering. At the end of the book, it offers an outlook on the future survivability technologies of optical networks. This edition is comprehensive, systematic, targeted, and highly practical. The book is suitable for engineering and technical personnel and management personnel engaged in the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of SDH systems and equipment, as well as for students and teachers of relevant majors in communication institutions for reference.
