[rrg] routing talks at the IRTF Open Meeting

[Lars Eggert <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

in the first hour of the IRTF Open Meeting Wednesday morning, there will be two talks by the ANRP awardees (see http://irtf.org/anrp) on topics that I hope are of interest to routing folks. FYI.

> 	Abstract: Given the high path redundancy and low link
> 	utilization in today's large networks, one may route traffic
> 	using fewer number of links so that other links can go sleep
> 	to conserve energy. In this work we design a traffic engineering
> 	mechanism that maximizes the number of links to sleep under
> 	certain performance constraints such as link utilization and packet
> 	delay. Using network topologies and traffic data from several
> 	wide-area networks, our evaluation demonstrates that GreenTE is
> 	both feasible and beneficial.
