About this title

From the Back Cover:

• The definitive SONET guide, fully updated for the latest technologies and standards
• In-depth coverage of SONET operations, administration, and management
• New coverage: IP-over-SONET optical Internets, WDM integration, MPLS, and much more
• All new chapter on SDH and SONET/SDH interworking

The professional's guide to SONET―completely updated for the latest innovations!

SONET is the transport technology at the heart of virtually every high-speed optical network. SONET and T1: Architecture for Digital Transport Networks, Second Edition gives communications engineers and other professionals an in-depth understanding of every facet of SONET technology-including breakthrough IP-over-SONET optical Internets, new techniques for integrating SONET with WDM fiber, and other key innovations.

The authors begin with an overview of SONET's goals and architecture, then present the most detailed coverage of SONET operations, administration, and management available in any book. SONET and T1: Architecture for Digital Transport Networks, Second Edition offers detailed information on the "hows" and "whys" of deploying and managing any SONET system, from architecture through maintenance, using real-life applications drawn from diverse carrier and business environments. This second edition's new coverage includes:

• New deployment examples for metropolitan and long-haul networks
• New passive optical applications
• New SONET network management solutions
• New coverage of SDH, the European SONET standard, and SONET/SDH interworking
• New techniques for expanding network capacity with WDM
• IP-over-SONET: advantages, risks, and issues
• SONET and MPLS

From day-to-day administration to long-term planning, SONET and T1: Architecture for Digital Transport Networks, Second Edition is your richest, most up-to-date SONET resource.

Synopsis:

SONET is the flexible, highly interoperable transport technology at the heart of today's high-speed optical networks. SONET: Architecture for Digital Transport Networks, Second Edition covers every facet of SONET technology, including the new IP-over-SONET "optical Internet," SONET's relationship to WDM, and other key innovations. The authors begin with an overview of SONET's goals and architecture; then present the most detailed coverage of SONET operations, administration, and management available in any book. They reflect important changes to SONET technology and standards, including changes to network management, and new applications. This edition shows SONET at work in both MANs and long-haul networks. It also includes a new chapter on SDH, the European SONET standard, and interworking between SONET and SDH networks.
