Publisher description

Next-generation architectures for survivable networks. "Always on"
information networks must automatically reroute around virtually any
problem-but conventional, redundant ring architectures are too inefficient and
inflexible. The solution: mesh-based networks that will be just as
survivable-and far more flexible and cost-effective. Drawing heavily on the
latest research, Wayne D. Grover introduces radical new concepts essential for
deploying mesh-based networks. Grover offers "how-to" guidance on everything
from logical design to operational strategy and evolution planning-including
unprecedented insight into migration from ring topologies and the important new
concept of p-cycles. *Mesh survivability: realities and common misunderstandings *Basic span-
and path-restoration concepts and techniques *Logical design: modularity,
non-linear cost structures, express-route optimization, and dual-failure
considerations *Operational aspects of real-time restoration and
self-organizing pre-planning against failures *The "transport-stabilized
Internet": self-organizing reactions to failure and unforeseen demand patterns
*Leveraging controlled oversubscription of capacity upon restoration in IP
networks *"Forcers": a new way to analyze the capacity structure of
mesh-restorable networks *New techniques for evolving facility-route structures
in mesh-restorable networks *p-Cycles: combining the simplicity and switching
speed of ring networks with the efficiency of mesh networks *Novel Working
Capacity Envelope concept for simplified dynamic demand provisioning
*Dual-failure restorability and the availability of mesh networks This is the
definitive guide to mesh-based networking for every system engineer, network
planner, product manager, researcher and graduate student in optical
networking. Extensive Web-based Appendices and Supplements Contains new resources for
designing and analyzing mesh-based survivable networks, including AMPL models,
software, course notes, presentations, network libraries, student problems and
suggested research projects. Mesh-based survivability offers many advantages, but the research,
educational and operational communications communities need to absorb new
concepts and ideas about network operation. This book is designed to contribute
to enabling this evolution towards mesh-based survivable networking.
