Optical Switching Networks describes all the major switching paradigms developed
for modern optical networks, discussing their operation, advantages,
disadvantages and implementation. Following a review of the evolution of optical
WDM networks, an overview of the future trends out. The latest developments in
optical access, local, metropolitan, and wide area networks are covered,
including detailed technical descriptions of generalized multiprotocol label
switching, waveband switching, photonic slot routing, optical flow, burst and
packet switching. The convergence of optical and wireless access networks is
also discussed, as are the IEEE 802.17 Resilient Packet Ring and IEEE 802.3ah
Ethernet passive optical network standards and their WDM upgraded derivatives.
The feasibility, challenges and potential of next-generation optical networks
are described in a survey of state-of-the-art optical networking testbeds.
