  • Abstract
    The five articles chosen for this month´s issue of the Optical Communications Series examine the higher-level protocols that are desperately needed as bandwidth continues its climb into the stratosphere. The proposals are not merely theoretical postulating, though, as the concepts presented herein are validated in real-world networks.
