IP over WDM : building the next generation optical internet

This is the first book to describe the interplay between the physical and IP layers in optical networks. It covers routing techniques (MPLS,S), quality of service (QoS) issues, and standards considerations. It describes real-world implementation examples and discusses the evolution toward all optical IP packet switching networks.
