Abstract:
Energy consumption in Computer Networks is an issue that is gaining increasing attention. In this talk we will review the issue of energy consumption in Computer Networks to then focus on Ethernet where a new standard is being developed to improve energy efficiency. We will discuss some of the alternatives that were considered during the Energy Efficient Ethernet standardization process and describe the solution adopted in the standard. Then we will present some results of an initial performance evaluation of the standard that shows the potential savings for different scenarios. We will conclude the talk by outlining the implications that Energy Efficient Ethernet will have on different aspects of the LANs.
