[Green] Re: Next steps for draft-many-lsr-power-group-02

Hi Carlos,


> One additional suggestion: it would be valuable for draft-many-lsr-power-group to include some consideration of how its mechanisms can be evaluated from an energy perspective. For example, guidance on measuring impact, comparing against a baseline, or reporting observed energy savings (and any managed decreases and/or unintended increases) in deployments.

I’m not understanding what you’re requesting.  draft-many-lsr-power-group provides a basis for path computation that allows PCE implementations to consolidate traffic, thereby idling components that can be put into power-sleep.  Without a specific analysis of a network, traffic demand matrix, and detailed hardware information, (all of which are operator confidential), I’m not sure what we can provide that is helpful.

We’ve already presented simulation results to substantiate the underlying premise.

I ask that we please proceed.

Regards,
Tony
