Embodiment Construction

[0018] The present disclosure relates to assessing energy used by services of a communication network, or parts thereof, and in particular for use in assessing the individual energy consumption of various services sharing a network or parts of a network.

[0019] figure 2 is a simplified schematic diagram illustrating a communications network 100 in which this way of performing energy assessments may be implemented. Network 100 includes edge nodes 105 , 110 , 115 , 120 , 125 , and 130 . Edge nodes 105 , 110 , and 115 may be, for example, routers, switches, bridges, etc., where customers or subscribers are connected to network 100 . Edge nodes 120, 125, and 130 may be, for example, devices such as routers, switches, bridges, etc. that act as gateways to other communication networks. Note that network nodes are also sometimes referred to herein as "elements".

[0020] In this illustration, the core 150 of the network 100 consists of figure 2 Network 155 , network 160 , and...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for energy assessment in a communication network. The network may consist of a number of different portions, such as network elements or sub-networks that may be evaluated separately. By methods described herein, the idle-power consumption and the incremental-power consumption may be determined and combined to form a total power consumption allocation. An equitable allocation may in this way be provided for each service that shares network resources, and in some cases for the network operator as well.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This disclosure is related to and claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 951,833, entitled "Method and Apparatus for Network Energy Assessment," and filed March 12, 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to the field of communication networks and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for energy assessment of all or part of a network, including the allocation of power consumption to one or more services using the network. Background technique [0004] A communication network carries network data traffic from one device to another or to several devices via several (and often a large number) of intermediate devices according to established or emerging communication protocols. Such networks are becoming larger and more widespread, and used by a wide variety of service providers. Because c...
