Dear Eric,

Forgot to answer question number one.

As far as operator support is concerned we will be familiarizing this as we
go along with the major ISPs and seeking their opinion.

Some informal conversations have shown the power reduction techniques are
necessary more than ever.

At this stage we are not even asking for standardization but just to convey
the fact that we did some simulations and the work was a result of these
experiments. The conference calls that we had with some providers with huge
opex costs with respect to power especially core routers of the kind that
are deployed today helped us gather more material from this research-y yet
technically feasible solution.

The mechanism proposed is primarily a PCE like architecture that constructs
the graph with weighted edges as consumed power to available bandwidth
ratios and which runs CSPF to do its job as proposed.

Hope this clarifies.

thanks and regards,
balaji venkat
