Description:

Mesh-based survivability offers many advantages, but the research, educational and perational communications communities need to absorb new concepts and ideas about network operation; letting the network self-organize its own logical configuration for example. Operators also need to understand, evaluate and adopt new methods and models for network design and planning. This book is designed to contribute to enabling this evolution towards mesh-based survivable networking.
