Next generation transport is used to support storage, VOIP, DSL, Cable and soon-to-be FTTX. This book is a survey of the key technologies that comprise the backbone of the networking infrastructure. It explains transport networks, how they are used, management of the layers, and the role of standards in the development of certain technologies.

The book is beneficial to both practitioners and academics as the book serves as a single source to get an understanding of how the past and current transport networks are built and operated and what are the technologies enabling the next generation transport networks.

Most significant features are the methodology chosen to address vast information and knowledge of past, present and future transport networks using three layered planes. Each of the planes are written by experts in the field Beneficial to both practitioners and academics as the book serves as a single source to get an understanding of how the past and current transport networks are built and operated and what are the technologies enabling the next generation transport networks Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Next Generation Transport Networks: Data, Management, and Control Planes provides a tutorial and reference information for next generation telecommunication network technologies. This insightful and accessible overview includes key technologies that comprise the backbone of the networking infrastructure, such as access, metro and long-haul segments. Written by industry veterans, this work uniquely balances and blends three key perspectives on high-speed networks fundamental to understanding transport mechanisms for potential implementation: the data, management, and control planes. Readers will readily learn how transport networks function, how they are used, how layers are managed, and how standards guide developing technologies.

Included in this volume:

Industry standards from the ITU-T (G- and M-series), ANSI/ATIS, and IEEE
Future data plane trends in terms of mapping Ethernet frames/streams or IP packets into PoS and GFP for WAN transport; virtual concatenation with LCAS of SONET, DS1/DS3/E1/E3, and OTN signals; optical transport including G.709 OTN; and MAN/WAN data access through IEEE 802.17 RPR
Switching: High speed circuit and packet switching using multi-stage Clos as well as multi-dimensional distributed switching approaches
Control Plane SS7, ATM PNNI, Automatic Switched Optical/Transport Network Architecture (G.ASON/G.ASTN) and protocols for routing and signaling- GMPLS,RSVP-TE, OSPF-TE
Transport Network architectures for access, metro and long-haul segments
Self-healing: perspectives on protection and restoration across ring and mesh topologies; discussion of new and emerging approaches for restoration such as p-cycle, SBPP, PWCE.

*Transport Network Management TMN layers, transport network management requirements, technologies SNMP,SOAP/XML, TL1, and OSMINE

The depth and breadth of coverage coupled with carefully chosen illustration, e.g. of the complex-frame formats, and summary tables for quick reference, make Next Generation Transport Networks: Data, Management, and Control Planes valuable for telecommunications professionals as well as a handy reference for network researchers.
