mode to propagate by limiting the core size to a small diameter and specifying a small index difference between core and cladding. Doing so assures that only a single spatial mode will be guided by the fiber over a range of optical wavelengths. For example, a typical fiber designed for long-haul communication will guide a single spatial mode over a wavelength range of approximately 1240 1650 nm. At longer wavelengths the loss at small bends in the fiber increases, while at shorter wavelengths a second spatial mode will be guided in straight sections of the fiber, leading to multimode distortion as described in the preceding section. The effect of CD arises because different wavelengths of light can travel along a fiber at different speeds. Since a pulse of light at the fiber input is composed of an optical spectrum of finite width, the different propagation delays suffered by the different spectral components result an output pulse with a time evolution different from the input pulse. Usually the pulse is smoothed and broadened by CD, although pulse compression also is possible. The penalty imposed by this behavior is exacerbated by transmitter chirp, i.e., by changes in the optical wavelength within a single transmitted bit. Systems in which CD is a significant limitation employ methods to control chirp of the transmitter, for example by use of distributed-feedback lasers and external modulators. Even

that each customer is assigned to a different VLAN and that VLAN s ID is the PVID for each port connected to that customer. The port is configured to allow only that VID to pass in or out. When frames belonging to different customers pass over the same trunk between provider bridges, those frames may have both a C-tag and an S-tag. This is the Q-in-Q format shown in Figure 13.4c. Whether the C-tag is present is the choice of the customer; it makes no difference to the provider. The S-tag is necessary for the provider to keep each customer s traffic separate from the other customers. Figure 13.5 points out one limitation of the Q-in-Q model. In Figure 13.5, there are three customer VLAN bridges, X, Y, and Z, connected via four provider bridges, P, Q, R, and S. For clarity, no other customers ports or equipment is shown. The customer is using two C-VLANs, the solid and the dotted lines. The provider is carrying the customer s traffic in a single S-VLAN, shown as a wide gray band in the illustration. Each of the customer s five stations, of which two are routers and three are workstations, are labeled with their MAC addresses, A through D. Every Ethernet station is built with a globally unique MAC address. A network can, however, be operated by overriding that globally unique MAC address with a locally administered MAC address. These addresses are defined in IEEE Std 802-2006. If the next-to-low-order bit in the first byte of the MAC address (02-00-00-00-00-00) is set, then the network administrator is free to use any value in the remaining 46 bits (the low bit of the first byte is the multicast/unicast indication). This technique is not commonly used today because of the likelihood that a configuration error will result in unintentionally duplicated MAC addresses. There is, unfortunately for bridges, a far more likely reason for duplicate MAC addresses. IETF RFC 3768 defines the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). Running this protocol can result in two (or more) routers having the same MAC address, though on different VLANs. In Figure 13.5, two routers are circled. One is on the customer s dotted VLAN and one on the customer s solid VLAN, but both have the same MAC address, A.

Formatting of a compact disc is irregular in comparison with a formatted hard disk drive. The physical contents of a hard disk drive are laid out in concentric tracks, each utilizing an identical sector format. The hard disk's logical le system contents are periodically updated and maintained in a le allocation table of some sort. Bad blocks on the hard disk surface due to surface irregularities can be marked as non-writable areas and excluded from the data map. In comparison, a single-session compact disc has one table of contents, written once. Also, unlike the regular, preformatted sectors on a hard disk, each compact disc sector can contain a different number of data bytes depending on its contents. Error-correction techniques and embedded codes vary by type of sector. Mixed-mode discs can contain purely audio information following a track of computer data. Multi-session recording builds an ongoing structure that references the contents of earlier recorded les. As recording is taking place on a compact disc, the system is building a series of roadmaps and pointers to encompass the

Perhaps no other construct is as important to a programming language as the assignment of a value to a variable. A variable is a named memory location that may be assigned a value. Further, the value of a variable can be changed one or more times during the execution of a program. That is, the content of a variable is changeable, not fixed. The following program creates a variable called x, gives it the value 1023, and then displays the message This program prints the value of x: 1023 on the screen.

D T N What If I m Still Not in Alignment If you re still having a difficult time getting into alignment with your higher purpose, don t worry about it. It takes longer for some people than for others. There is no right or wrong way to go about this, and there is no right or wrong time frame in which you will discover the answers you are seeking. Remember, most of us got sidetracked somewhere along the line. We silenced the voice within us that speaks to us about what we really want and what really matters. Perhaps along the way you ve made choices, or had someone make them for you, that were driven by more practical matters. Maybe you set your dreams aside to make a living, or simply to survive. If this is the case, it may take you more time and focus to get clear about those original dreams and desires that are lying deep within you perhaps dormant, but not dead. The good news is that your inner wisdom never goes away, and it can be revived over time. Use this chapter to activate the innate knowing and inner urges that guided you when you were young. Then answer these questions. If you feel that your competencies and your vocational calling are not in alignment, why do you think that is What can you do to align these two areas as soon as possible Have you considered meditating to get a clear flow of thoughts and ideas moving What obstacles are getting in your way, or preventing you from excavating your inner desires How can you work around these barriers Go back and revisit the exercises in this chapter. Ask someone close to you, someone whom you trust and whose opinions you value, to assist you with this process. Sometimes it takes an objective party to see the match and uncover your hidden potential. Write down the names of people who can help you in this process. They don t have to be in your city. This can be done by phone, fax, or email. _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________
