Wavelength-Routing (WR) networks are the most common solution for core networks. With the access segment moving from copper to Passive Optical Networks (PON), core networks will become one of the major culprits of Internet power consumption. However, WR networks offer some design flexibility which can be exploited to mitigate their energy requirements. One of the main steps which has to be faced in...
The world has fundamentally changed as the Internet has become a universal means of communication. The Web is a huge virtual space where to express individual opinions and influence any aspect of life. Internet contains a wealth of data that can be mined to detect valuable opinions, with implications even in the political arena. Nowadays the Web sources are more accessible and valuable than ever before,...
The revolution in information technology is making open sources more accessible, ubiquitous, and valuable. The International Intelligence Communities have seen open sources grow increasingly easier and cheaper to acquire in recent years. Up to 80% of electronic data is textual and most valuable information is often encoded in pages which are neither structured, nor classified. The process of accessing...
According to several studies, the power consumption of the Internet accounts for up to 10% of the worldwide energy consumption, and several initiatives are being put into place to reduce the power consumption of the ICT sector in general. To this goal, we propose a novel approach to switch off network nodes and links while still guaranteeing full connectivity and maximum link utilization. After showing...
Power consumption of ICT is becoming more and more a sensible problem, which is of interest for both the research community, for ISPs and for the general public. In this paper we consider a real IP backbone network and a real traffic profile. We evaluate the energy cost of running it, and, speculating on the possibility of selectively turning off spare devices whose capacity is not required to transport...
Future Internet packet switches and routers will have to overcome intrinsic limitations of current electronic switching fabrics, related to the extremely high amount and density of the information to be internally processed, and the consequent very large number of interconnections, and very high power consumption and dissipation. Motivated by this observation, we consider different architectures of...
In this paper, we consider packet networks loaded by admissible traffic patterns, i.e., by traffic patterns that, if optimally routed, do not overload network resources. We prove that simple distributed dynamic routing and scheduling algorithms based upon link state information can achieve the same network throughput as optimal centralized routing and scheduling algorithms with complete traffic information...
