Re: [E-impact] Reducing Energy Consumption While Maintaing QoS

[Hesham ElBakoury <[e-mail]>]

Thanks Alvaro!
I coauthored a related paper that was published last year in the GreenNet
workshop. This "*paper provides a holistic view of green TE using evolving
SDN and SR-specific features without adding much additional computational
tasks, and also considers SR segment processing overhead for energy
efficiency*."

Unfortunately we did not perform empirical analysis to provide PoC for the
algorithms in the paper.

The paper is available here:
