Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Optical Networking Best Practices Handbook presents optical networking in a very comprehensive way for nonengineers needing to understand the fundamentals of fiber, high-capacity, high-speed equipment and networks, and upcoming carrier services. The book provides a practical understanding of fiber optics as a physical medium, sorting out single-mode versus multi-mode and the crucial concept of Dense Wave-Division Multiplexing.

This is a really fine book, one of the better technical books I've seen in a while. It seems like these days they'll let anyone write a book. It's good to see that some publishers still demand quality and are also able to produce it. For anyone who is interested in learning about optical networking, from top to bottom, or in teaching a class on it, this is the right book for you.

John Vacca has put forth an excellent handbook that should be on the book shelves of every person interested in optical networks. The book provides an excellent historical overview of the technology as it emerges from its infancy in the early 1900's through today. It contains detailed network architecture descriptions of the hardware, software and infrastructure components required to establish, maintain and extend fiber optic networks now and in the future. It will answer most, if not all of the questions one might have about this technology, and it can also be used as a textbook about the subject.

I loved the way this book was written. There's nothing like a great reference book with tons of examples and enough details to be useful. Optical network books are usually dry and theoretical; however this one keys off of practical implementations with just enough detailed information and references. This handbook is loaded with terrific graphic diagrams and excellent explanations. Highly recommended.

Great work by John Vacca. The book is comprehensive, easy to read, and handy for both the student and the professional. I highly recommend it.

John covers all aspects of optical networking in both a general and in-depth manner allowing the reader to absorb the subject matter at their own level. I found this book to be a valuable reference and should be in every IT professional's library.
