A slice structure using the management of network traffic prediction for green IT

Abstract

Maintaining complete network service with the current infrastructure is an urgent task due to continuous growth in network traffic. It is expected that the energy consumption of network routers may become a global environmental problem, and therefore, research and development into power reduction is well desired. Our group proposes a unique structure embedded into routers, which consists of multiple slices and is dynamically controlled by the prediction of network traffic flow. In this paper, we examine this slice control and LSI architecture, and show the validity of a router. Also, the simulation used in this study is based on the true traffic in the university.
