Abstract:
In the current Internet, it is implicitly assumed that a network node
is always active so that it can receive the incoming packets at any
time. Current networking services and applications are commonly
designed to be fully available at all times with minimal response
times. This assumption keeps network nodes from entering sleeping
mode in order to reduce energy consumption. Further, during sleeping
mode, network nodes may not immediately respond to the incoming
packets or even lose them. If network nodes are allowed to go into a
sleeping mode, they can effectively reduce energy consumption during
idle period. Network proxy allows to delegate network node's traffic
processing to an external system within a network, so that the nodes
maintain network presence during their sleep. This document
describes communication mechanism between network nodes and proxy in
order to accelerate the wider deployment of network proxy mechanism.
