By (author): Ken-Ichi Sato
Description
Having broken ground with new concepts in both photonic networking and ATM technologies, Ken-ichi Sato is recognized as a leading authority in transport technologies. In this book he examines recent advances in the field and offers an expert 's view of future transport technology trends. The book emphasizes the creation of large networks as it acquaints you with leading-edge optical networking technologies, which are essential to the future development of bandwidth-abundant B-ISDN. The increasingly critical links between STM, ATM, and optical networks are also explored. Includes 135 illustrations, 20 tables, over 300 references and 50 equations.
