We aim at improving the power efficiency of network routers without compromising their
performance. Using server-based software routers as our prototyping vehicle, we investigate …

Energy conservation is drawing increasing attention in data networking. As networks are
designed for peak traffic, network elements typically operate at full speed and consume …

An important challenge of modern data centers is to reduce energy consumption, of which a
substantial proportion is due to the network. Switches and NICs supporting the recent …

In this paper, we analytically model the behavior of gigabit Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
links with coalescing using M/G/1 queues with sleep and wake-up periods. The particularity …

An important challenge of modern data centers is to reduce energy consumption, of which a
substantial proportion is due to the network. Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is a recent …

Energy consumption is one of the major challenges on the big data processing
infrastructure. The energy expenses are even higher than hardware, accounting for 75% of …

The IEEE Standard 802.3 az, namely Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), has been recently
introduced to reduce the power consumed in LANs. Since then, researchers have proposed …

Energy efficiency and performance improvements have been two of the major concerns of
current Data Centers. With the advent of Big Data, more information is generated year after …

Energy efficiency is becoming an important requirement in more and more computing
systems for optimizing resource allocation and task scheduling. By switching active copper …

For what concerns networking utilization the work focuses on Energy Efficient Ethernet
(EEE)-IEEE 802.3 az standard-which is the energy-aware alternative to legacy Ethernet, and …
