Preface
For the last twenty years, communication between computers has been one of the most important and all-pervasive features of the computer revolution. Early computer networks used copper wires as the physical medium for communication. Important limitations of copper as a medium include its relatively high attenuation, susceptibility to malicious attacks, and electromagnetic interference. The tremendous growth of the Internet and the World Wide Web has made high-bandwidth computer communication a crucial and strategic infrastructure. Deregulation of the telephone industry and the dramatic increase of data, as opposed to voice, traffic ove
