Abstract:
With the growing amount of traffic on the Internet, network devices are consuming increasing energy as their transmission capacity increases. Therefore, the reduction of network power consumption is an important issue. Software-defined networking is receiving significant attention as a means to manage increased network traffic efficiently. We consider energy efficient routing schemes with traffic aggregation for each flow that maintain acceptable performance using OpenFlow. The proposed schemes aggregate traffic to build a network using the minimum active devices necessary. Through simulation evaluation, we show that the proposed schemes can reduce power consumption, in comparison with the conventional routing protocol.
