This paper focuses on the energy efficiency of network-attached home devices, like PCs, tablets, and set-top boxes. These devices already include sophisticated power management schemes, which usually provide a good proportionality level between energy consumption and workload. However, they may become very inefficient in the presence of...

In this paper, our objective is to experimentally evaluate how the incoming and outgoing traffic patterns provided by the TCP protocol impact on the energy efficiency of a networked device under a number of realistic scenarios. To this purpose, we set up a complex testbed that allowed us to perform a huge number of measurements on energy- and...

The increased number of devices and links in today's backbones networks of Telecom, in order to maintain quality of service during busy or rush hour loads, has become in a critical factor for the power consumption in communication networks. Unfortunately, current network devices do not have power management primitives, and the energy...
