Abstract :
Energy efficiency of high-performance network elements can be improved through using low-power-consuming technologies such as high-speed optical transmission and signal processing as well as by developing and applying novel network concepts optimized for both energy and performance. This paper briefly discusses potentials and options for achieving highly energy-efficient network elements.
