Abstract:
There has been, for several years, a rising concern over the energy
usage of large scale networks. This concern is strongly focused on
campus, data center, and other highly concentrated deployments of
network infrastructure. Given the steadily increasing demand for
higher network speeds, always-on service models, and ubiquitous
network coverage, it is also of growing importance for
telecommunication networks both local and wide area in scope. One of
the issues in moving forward to reduce energy usage is to ensure that
the network can still meet the performance specifications required to
support the applications running over it.
This document provides an overview of the various areas of concern in
the interaction between network performance and efforts at energy
aware control planes, as a guide for those working on modifying
current control planes or designing new control planes to improve the
energy efficiency of high density, highly complex, network
deployments.
