SDH/SONET Explained in Functional Models: Modeling the Optical Transport Network

Description:

H/SONET Explained in Functional Models represents a fresh approach to the modeling of transport network technologies. This practical guide and reference text uncovers the description of SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy), SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) and OTN (Optical Transport Network) transport networks and equipment using functional/atomic modeling techniques. It clearly explains the use of models in the ITU-T and ETSI standards, the transport networks and the transport equipment in the definition, implementation and deployment phase.

• Pays particular attention to the SDH and OTN standards using functional/atomic modeling, as used and defined in the ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union) recommendations G.805 and G.809 and the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) standards EN 300 417, as opposed to the formal language used in the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard T1.105.
• Topics of discussion range from functional modeling high level transport networks to the most detailed device functions, aided by a variety of figures and tables.
• Shows that functional modeling is not restricted to SDH/SONET but that is can be used to describe any transport network, connection-oriented and connectionless, e.g. Ethernet and MPLS networks.
• Written by a leading authority in the area, this is the first book dedicated to the novel approach of using functional modeling to describe SDH/SONET/OTN networks.

This volume will appeal to manufacturers, engineers and all those involved in developing and deploying SDH, SONET, OTN, Ethernet, MPLS technology.  It will be an invaluable resource for postgraduate students on network communications courses and advanced users using functional modeling.

描述：
《H/SONET Explained in Functional Models》是對傳輸網路技術建模的新方法。這本實用指南和參考書揭示了使用功能/原子建模技術描述SDH（同步數字階層）、SONET（同步光纖網絡）和OTN（光傳輸網絡）傳輸網絡和設備的描述。它清楚地解釋了ITU-T和ETSI標準中的模型使用，以及在定義、實施和部署階段中的傳輸網絡和傳輸設備。

重點關注使用功能/原子建模的SDH和OTN標準，這些標準在ITU-T（國際電信聯盟）建議G.805和G.809以及ETSI（歐洲電信標準協會）標準EN 300 417中使用和定義，而不是ANSI（美國國家標準協會）標準T1.105中使用的正式語言。

討論的主題從功能建模高層傳輸網絡到最詳細的設備功能，並輔以各種圖表和表格。

顯示功能建模不僅限於SDH/SONET，還可以用於描述任何傳輸網絡，包括連接導向和無連接導向的網絡，例如以太網和MPLS網絡。

這本書由該領域的權威人士撰寫，是首本專門介紹使用功能建模來描述SDH/SONET/OTN網絡的書籍。

這本書將吸引製造商、工程師和所有參與開發和部署SDH、SONET、OTN、以太網、MPLS技術的人士。對於網絡通信課程的研究生學生和使用功能建模的高級用戶來說，這將是一個寶貴的資源。
