FOREWORD
From the fundamentals to the level of advance sciences, this book explains and illustrates
how optical networking technology works. The comprehensive coverage of
fiber technology and the equipment that is used to transmit and manage traffic on a
fiber network provides a solid education for any student or professional in the networking
arena.
The explanations of the many complex protocols that are used for transmission on
a fiber network are excellent. In addition, the chapter on developing areas in optical
networking provides insight into the future directions of fiber networking technology.
This is helpful for networking design and implementation as well as planning
for technology obsolescence and migration. The book also provides superb end-ofchapter
material for use in the classroom, which includes a chapter summary and a
list and definitions of key terms.
I highly recommend this book for networking professionals and those entering the
field of network management. I also highly recommend it to curriculum planners and
instructors for use in the classroom.--MICHAEL ERBSCHLOE
