Optical Network Design and Implementation

by Vivek Alwayn

Master your optical networks with this design and implementation guide that serves as the definitive workplace optical reference Optical Network Design and Implementation provides a complete reference of technology solutions for next-generation optical networks. The book explains the technology differences between various Metropolitan Area Networks technologies, thus enabling IT professionals to get up-to-speed on the technology solutions they need to use. It also builds a case for Multi-Service Provisioning Platform, including design and implementation of next-generation optical networks. Such advances include Resilient Packet Ring, which will upgrade the current fiber optic rings that are neither optimized nor scalable to the demands of packet networks; and Synchronous Optical Networks, which will run services including 10/100 Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and Time-Division Multiplexing. Later chapters of this book include detailed, real-world case studies focusing on Cisco's Optical Network System product line and Cisco optical platforms. The comprehensive explanations of technologies and how they interrelate, combined with the solutions for various metro optical designs and solutions, make Optical Network Design and Implementation a unique must-have reference guide for network designers, engineers, and technicians. 158705105208212003

Half of the content is fundamentals of optical networking and mainly SDH/SONET. Very useful. The other half is dated Cisco-specific configuration, not so useful.
