“This is my favorite book on optical network design and planning. It is written in an easy- to -follow approach that starts with basics such as optical network elements, routing, regeneration, wavelength assignment, grooming and ramps up to take on advanced and timely bundle of technology such as shared mesh protection, flexible optical network, and dynamic optical network with emphasis on software – defined networking.” (Mazen Khaddam, Principal Lead Strategic Network Scientist & Architect, Cox Communications)
From the reviews:
"This is ... nicely written tutorial book devoted to optical networking. ... I recommend it to specialists working in companies planning to switch to full optical networks, but not having much experience in it. Also, graduate students will benefit from using it as an introductory book in the field." (Piotr Cholda, ACM Computing Reviews, April, 2009)
