Features: This book is a technical publication introducing the content of optical network control and management, covering the following main topics: 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 and ring networks; the control plane of optical networks. The major feature of this book is its comprehensive discussion of the main standards and optical network technologies published by organizations such as the IETF, ITU-T, OIF, ANSI, and Bellcore. This book is suitable for technical and managerial personnel at all levels engaged in optical communications, as well as for senior undergraduate and graduate students in optical communication programs 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,
