IEEE 802.3az: The Road to Energy Efficient Ethernet , In Communications Magazine, IEEE, volume 48, 2010. Brief Summary: Started in 2006, the IEEE2.3az working group started (and ratified in SEPT 2010) the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). EEE imporved energy efficiency of Ethernet by introducing a lower power idle mode that allowed an Ethernet interface to sleep during periods of low activity resultig in a potential savings of $400 million per year in the US with up to $1 billion worldwide. This paper covers the developmental process in the establishment of EEE. Also presented is another concept on imporving on EEE via collecting (coalescing) packets to transmit in bursts, mimicing concepts already performed on recieve buffers to reduce CPU overhead. This was tested using ns-2 and found EEE-coalesce had better power conservation then EEE alone (at the expense of increased response time) [bib] [pdf] [doi] |

Reducing the Energy Consumption of Ethernet with Adaptive Link Rate (ALR) , In IEEE Trans. Comput., IEEE Computer Society, volume 57, 2008. Brief Summary: This paper investigates the potenital for energy savings in Ethernet links. As ethernet links are underutilized, energy can be conserved by using a lower rate and adaptavely switching to a higher rate. Discussion to the mechanism pertains to th rate of switching and the need to reduce/prevent oscillation else a significant amount of time from oscillation is wasted due to switching and the time needed to bring interfaces up. To prevent oscillation, a utilization-threshold policy was developed. As the load %lambda increases, the time spent in the low rate dcereases. "...switch the link data rate more then 400 times a second. FOr a T_switch of 1ms, this is more then 40 percent of the time spent on switching data rates. Concerns with the policy relate now how to reduce oscillation while maximising energy consumption. The Ethernet traffic that is bursty with a Cauchy distribution burst lengths and exponential distributed idle times is hard to use in practice thus simulations performed modeled Pareto's distribution which emulates web servers.

Internet Packet Size Distributions: Some Observations , Technical report, USC/Information Sciences Institute, 2007. Brief Summary: This report reviewed traffic reports in 2005 from various named sources to identify packet size distributions. Current trends in packet sizes seem mostly bimodal at 40B (40%) and 1500B (20%). This is a departure from past observations where there was also a spike at 576. Another observation made came from a smaller 1300B growth due to VPN MTU. Based on the graphs it appears to average around 5%. [bib] [pdf] |
