In this work we propose a strategy to minimize the impact of energy saving techniques on
the performance of an Internet Service Provider network. We study the problem of putting in …

In this work we study the impact of energy-aware routing algorithms on IP backbone
networks, focusing on the routing protocol transients due to network reconfiguration. We first …

We propose a framework to manage the link lifetime in an IP backbone network by exploiting
the sleep mode (SM). In particular, when an SM feature is available, two different effects …

We study the impact of sleep modes capabilities on the lifetime of backbone devices. We first
define a model that integrates sleep modes in the device lifetime. We then derive a model for …

We investigate the problem of managing the lifetime of links in IP backbone networks
exploiting a sleep mode (SM) state. In particular, the SM duration tends to increase the …

In this work we investigate a new solution dealing with the increase of IP networks energy
efficiency. The starting point of this work is Table Lookup Bypass (TLB), a new mechanism to …

We detail the implementation of RUBEN, a scalable emulator based on software routers
which implements and evaluate energy-aware algorithms in backbone networks. Our …
