IP over WDM: Building the Next-Generation Optical Internet

- The key technology to delivering maximum bandwidth over networks is Dense Wave-length Division Multiplexing (DWDM)

- Describes in detail how DWDM works and how to implement a range of transmission protocols

- Covers device considerations, the pros and cons of various network layer protocols, and quality of service (QoS) issues

- The authors are leading experts in this field and provide real-world implementation examples

- First book to describe the interplay between the physical and IP (Internet Protocol) layers in optical networks
