Abstract
A communication network is a complex system, and the International Standards Organization (ISO) has defined a seven-layer reference model for its construction. Although researchers have been studying network technologies for several decades and have successfully resolved many difficult issues, there are still many new challenging issues arising constantly, which have to be addressed adequately in order to support the ever-growing numbers of both new applications and users. This chapter summarizes some of the new issues that will be addressed by this monograph for wireless and optical networks in the future, with a brief overview of the relevant networking issues that have been studied extensively in the literature so far.
