Produktbeschreibung

Since the early 1990's the SONET/SDH standard has been very successful in high speed optical communications and it has now paved the way to ultra-high bandwidth data transport. Previously the primary objective of SONET was synchronous traffic with an expected high quality of service whereas asynchronous traffic (data) was of secondary concern. The rapid increase in data traffic has demanded a data network with better QoS and higher data rates, in the range of 2.5 - 10 Gb/s, which are in closer alignment with SONET. At the same time data has been penetrating into the synchronous network, creating a demand for a more flexible and data-friendly standard. With SONET already in place with it's tremendous investment in equipment and infrastructure and personnel training--has led to the new network that combines the best of both worlds, the next generation of SONET/SDH.

THE DEFINITIVE GUIDEBOOK TO NEXT GENERATION SONET/SDH, OPTICAL NETWORKS, AND NEW DATA COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL
The next generation SONET/SDH answers the demand for a communications network with improved data QoS, higher data rates, exceptional flexibility, efficiency and scalability, superb protection, and a data-friendly standard, by integrating the simplicity and cost-efficiency of the data network with bandwidth capacity and QoS of the synchronous optical network.
Designed for communication specialists who need to understand the implications and implementation requirements of the next generation optical network. Next Generation SONET/SDH: Voice and Data offers an accessible yet comprehensive introduction to this latest version of SONET/SDH. In this, his fourth book on optical networking, Dr. Kartalopoulos explains in simple terms the wealth of new protocols designed to optimize this new optical network, increase its efficiency, and decrease its cost.
Featuring only essential mathematics and supported by many helpful illustrations, the text:
_ Explains and references the new SONET/SDH standards
_ Details the many implications and improvements that the next generation of SONET-over-DWDM will bring
_ Provides careful explanations of such optical systems as Data-over SONET, Packet-over-SONET, Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAST), the Generalized Framing Procedure (GFP), Link Access Procedure for SDH (LAPS), Internet and Gigabit Ethernet over SONET, Virtual Concatenation, the Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP), and the Multi-Service Switching Platform (MSSP). In addition, the book explains other optical networks including the optical transport network (OTN).
