A review of using the textbook

I have had used this book as a textbook for a course taught by one of the authors, Dr Mohan Gurusamy. For sure, this book certainly gives the reader a good review of the recent development in WDM research. In particular, some of the materials cover papers that were published in IEEE conferences like INFOCOM, and major networking journals such as ToN and JSAC. As a student, it has accelerated my understanding of WDM technologies, and, as an engineer, the mathematical models and algorithms presented in the book are useful to me. This book is a must companion for research studies in WDM. Any reader with some background in linear programming and queueing theory sould be able to enjoy this book tremendously.

A good tutorial but...

This is a very good tutorial or survey for a freshman on Optical Networking. However, it has three drawbacks. First, it only talks about Optical WAN while too little contents about Optical Lan or WAN, such as GE and RPR. Second, it does not discuss much about GMPLS and OAM.Third, English is not very good, two many repeated sentence. If you are an expert, don't touch it. It you are a freshman like me, be patient.
