Optical Networking edited by A. Bononi.

The new information services provided worldwide through the Internet are fostering the upgrade of existing access and transmission plants, and the de­ ployment of new ones. The bandwidth bottlenecks of existing electronic plants are being gradually removed by the massive use of optics at all levels....
