Abstract :
We present a novel design rule offering maximally energy-efficient and future-proofed Tb/s→Pb/s upgrade paths for IP routers. One path assumes 10% average Poisson traffic intensity with 68.1% energy-efficiency gains over only 5 upgrade generations; while 30% average traffic load only enables 45.7% energy-efficiency gains and requires 9 generations.
