Is there any ongoing effort in or near IETF to compare the energy
consumption of implementation of new protocols with that of
existing protocols?
Maybe some RFCs need an Energy Considerations section? This
isn't solely related to consumption from the grid, as mobile
devices also have tight energy budgets.
