Tutorial: Energy efficient networks

Networks are key part of overall social strategy to reduce carbon footprint ▪ Essential tool in realizing sustainable living ▪ Must be reconciled with network growth Scaling networks is becoming harder Understanding energy use in networks is a complex and important problem ▪ Access to data will be an on-going challenge ▪ Complimentary methods available: network model vs. energy accounting Much recent activity looking at core network techniques ▪ EE-network design and traffic engineering ▪ Dynamic wavelength capabilities Need to look beyond current network paradigm to address long term challenges
