Simply Outstanding Book

A real eye opener into the world of Networks and Network Management.

A well written book in the area of optical network.

A well written book in the area of multi-wavelength optical networks. The overview of the network gives reader a clear big picture. The detailed description in the aspects of multi-wavelength network analysis, design, control and fault management etc. allows reader to have a close look and a deeper understanding of the related technoloy, of the existing problems, of their near term solutions and of the long term development trend. A very helpful book in a time of rapid change in telecommunication industry pushed by the increasingly heavy data traffic demand.

a good reference book

The authors with rich academic and industrial experience, give a very through navigation of the most recent optical network layer by layer. It is very good reference book for anyone who is interested in the optical communication area.
