SONET is the flexible, highly interoperable transport technology at the heart of today's high-speed optical networks. SONET: Architecture for Digital Transport Networks, Second Edition covers every facet of SONET technology, including the new IP-over-SONET "optical Internet," SONET's relationship to WDM, and other key innovations. The authors begin with an overview of SONET's goals and architecture; then present the most detailed coverage of SONET operations, administration, and management available in any book. They reflect important changes to SONET technology and standards, including changes to network management, and new applications. This edition shows SONET at work in both MANs and long-haul networks. It also includes a new chapter on SDH, the European SONET standard, and interworking between SONET and SDH networks.
