Power control for network equipment via adaptive forecast-based port rate regulation

Network equipment commonly runs at the highest configuration rate, while network traffic may significantly fluctuate. This causes a rather low utilization rate of network equipment. In this paper, we firstly analyze network traffic demand, and secondly, we develop an adaptive port rate regulation sc...

Description
Summary:Network equipment commonly runs at the highest configuration rate, while network traffic may significantly fluctuate. This causes a rather low utilization rate of network equipment. In this paper, we firstly analyze network traffic demand, and secondly, we develop an adaptive port rate regulation scheme to enable switches to align its rate to what the network traffic requires. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm can reduce the average rate of switches effectively, and t he packet loss rate remains at a lower level.
