Adaptive link rates for burst based transmission towards the prosperity of green networks

Abstract

We have gone through the survey of state of art techniques for Green Networking. The two eminent techniques, Burst based transmission techniques (BTR) and Adaptive link rates (ALR) towards greening the Ethernet have been studied. We have analyzed the possibility of prospering more greenness, in sequence to that we proposed a new hybrid technique by combining adaptive link rates with TCP coalesced packet bursts. We have measured the link utilization and speculated the energy efficiency via projected power consumption in watts hour. We observed, the simulation results show that the proposed system would consume less energy than the existing techniques.
