  1. Power Benchmarking Vishwas Manral Puneet Sharma Sujata Banerjee Yang Ping

  2. Problem statement • Power becoming a critical factor in Networks • Operators seeking more information • “Maximum Rate Power (MRP)” is of little use • Average Power and MRP not correlated • A lot of devices run at very low utilization rates • Network products need to provide • Need to measure better • Better reporting • Better ways to compare power usage of different network equipment and control

  3. AIM • Ability to provide a means of measuring power usage based on traffic • General flexible benchmark to work across a variety of devices • Take into consideration environmental factors like • input air temperature • energy required for heat dissipation • Network/ device/ connector factors

  4. Document details • Defines 2 metrics • NECR (Network Energy Consumption Rate) • To optimize the run time energy usage for different devices, the additional energy consumption that will result as a factor of additional traffic needs to be known. The NECR defines the power usage increase in MilliWatts per Mbps of data at the physical layer. • NEPI (Network Energy Proportionality Index) • In the ideal case the power consumed by a device is proportional to its offered network load. The average difference between the ideal(I) and the measured (M) power consumption defines the EPI.

  5. Survey of Work in other standard bodies • ATIS: Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions •  Green initative: Telecommunication Energy Efficiency (TEE) group • ANSI accredited • EPA • Energy Star • GreenGrid • METI – Japan, dynamic tier selection, limited impact • BBF – vendors and carriers; currently dormant on network energy efficiency • ITU-T ß work in progress, no real details • European Union: Broadband code-of-conduct, Datacenter code-of-conduct • Energy Consumption Rating (ECR) Initiative • IEEE: 802.3az (EEE) • ECMA standard 393 ProxZzzy for sleeping hosts (implemented in Windows 7?) • CSCI • Miercom Green certification
