Optical Switching Networks

12:29 AM |
















Optical Switching Networks

Optical Switching Networks describes all the major switching paradigms developed for modern optical networks, discussing their operation, advantages, disadvantages and implementation. Following a review of the evolution of optical WDM networks, an overview of the future trends out.

The latest developments in optical access, local, metropolitan, and wide area networks are covered, including detailed technical descriptions of generalized multiprotocol label switching, waveband switching, photonic slot routing, optical flow, burst and packet switching.

The convergence of optical and wireless access networks is also discussed, as are the IEEE 802.17 Resilient Packet Ring and IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet passive optical network standards and their WDM upgraded derivatives. The feasibility, challenges and potential of next-generation optical networks are described in a survey of state-of-the-art optical networking testbeds. Animations showing how the key optical switching techniques work are available via the web, as are lecture slides.[Download]

Network Infrastructure and Architecture: Designing High-Availability Networks

3:21 AM |



















Network Infrastructure and Architecture: Designing High-Availability Networks
Wiley | April 2008 | ISBN 978-0-471-74906-6 | English | 564 pages | PDF | 3.6 MB

A Comprehensive, Thorough Introduction to High-Speed Networking Technologies and Protocols

Network Infrastructure and Architecture: Designing High-Availability Networks takes a unique approach to the subject by covering the ideas underlying networks, the architecture of the network elements, and the implementation of these elements in optical and VLSI technologies. Additionally, it focuses on areas not widely covered in existing books: physical transport and switching, the process and technique of building networking hardware, and new technologies being deployed in the marketplace, such as Metro Wave Division Multiplexing (MWDM), Resilient Packet Rings (RPR), Optical Ethernet, and more.

Divided into five succinct parts, the book covers:

  • Optical transmission

  • Networking protocols

  • VLSI chips

  • Data switching

  • Networking elements and design

Complete with case studies, examples, and exercises throughout, the book is complemented with chapter goals, summaries, and lists of key points to aid readers in grasping the material presented.

Network Infrastructure and Architecture offers professionals, advanced undergraduates, and graduate students a fresh view on high-speed networking from the physical layer perspective. [more...]

Technologies for Home Networking

3:12 AM |




















Technologies for Home Networking
Wiley | 2008 | ISBN 978-0-470-07374-2 | English | 239 pages | PDF | 3.3 MB

The purpose of this book is to bridge the gap between wireless networking and service research communities who have hitherto confined their work to their respective specialties. It not only focuses on the latest technology enablers for speedier and more reliable wireless networking in the home, but also integrates these enablers to provide workable end-to-end solutions from a user's perspective. The scope is limited to approaches that will enhance the user's experience in consuming content in the private and secure setting of the home. [more...]
