As of June 2012, 41% of all systems in the TOP500 use Gigabit Ethernet. Ethernet has been
a strong contender in the HPC interconnect market for its competitive performance and low …

The IEEE 802.3 az standard provides a new low power mode that Ethernet network
interfaces can use to save energy when there is no traffic to transmit. Simultaneously with …

In this paper, we study the power efficiency and delay performance of the burst mode
transmission (BTR) strategy for the IEEE 802.3 az energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) protocol. In …

An important challenge of modern data centers is to reduce energy consumption, of which a
substantial proportion is due to the network. Switches and NICs supporting the recent …

In this paper, we analytically model the behavior of gigabit Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
links with coalescing using M/G/1 queues with sleep and wake-up periods. The particularity …

Frame coalescing is a well-established technique which manages the low power idle (LPI)
mode supported by energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) interfaces. Frame coalescing enables …

The IEEE P802. 3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) protocol specifies a Low Power Idle
(LPI) mode in which Ethernet device can save energy by turning off components when its …

Telecommunication networks are over-provisioned with redundant resources in order to
cope with traffic load during peak hours and to quickly recover from failures. However, much …

The IEEE Standard 802.3 az, namely Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), has been recently
introduced to reduce the power consumed in LANs. Since then, researchers have proposed …

The IEEE 802.3 bj standard defines two potential low power operating modes for high speed
energy efficient ethernet (EEE) physical interfaces working at 40 and 100 Gb/s: a not-so …
