Features: This book is a technical publication introducing the content of optical network control and management, including the main topics such as: how to design networks that support critical protection services and low-cost unprotected services; network control in WDM/DWDM and SONET/SDH; the control principles and characteristics of Mesh networks and ring networks; the control plane of optical networks. The major feature of this book is its comprehensive discussion of the main standards published by organizations such as IETF, ITU-T, OIF, ANSI, and Bellcore, as well as optical network technologies. This book is suitable for technical and managerial personnel at all levels engaged in optical communication, as well as for senior undergraduate and graduate students in optical communication courses at communication universities... The main content of this book includes: how to design networks that support critical protection services and low-cost unprotected services; network control in WDM/DWDM and SONET/SDH; the control principles and characteristics of developing Mesh networks and current ring networks—accompanied by application cases, current and future optical network routing/signaling protocols and standards, including GMPLS, ASON, and 0-UNI; the control plane of optical networks—design,
