Optical Transport Networks: A Cross-Layer Approach

By Keren Bergman, Balagangadhar Bathula, Caroline Lai

This book provides up-to-date coverage in the area of optical network architectures from an academia and industry perspective Optical Transport Networks: A Cross-Layer Approach focuses on the recent developments and innovative research in the area of optical transport networks, proposing the design of cross-layer architecture. In addition, the authors address the current the need to redesign the existing optical transport network (OTN) using an efficient control plane design and programmable optical layer. Operations, Administration, and Management (OAM) issues for enabling such clean-slate network architectures are also discussed. The book explores these cross-layer approaches, encompassing both theoretical and experimental perspectives from close collaboration with experts and researchers in industry (Alcatel-Lucent/Bell Labs, and AT&T) and academia, and summarizes the recent research findings, work, results, and developments in this area. Offers an overview on new, emerging, and innovative area of cross-layer optical networks Covers developments in the field from experts in both industry (Alcatel-Lucent, IBM, AT&T, IBM) and academia Demonstrates experimental findings and theoretical analyses Discusses the existing state-of-the-art networks and provides a comparison with futuristic cross-layer architectures and approaches Presents architectures for enabling optical packet switched networks
