4. Silicon process evolution only
compensate bandwidth growth
› Each generation of silicon process brings twice the
amount of transistor logic in the same cost / footprint /
power.
– This could mean halving the power consumption every 2 years
– But the Internet and data bandwidth consumption is following
the same pattern (rough doubling every two years)
– Market pressure has caused to reinvest this capital in network
performance instead of power savings
Technology will bring significant bandwidth efficiency

5. Power savvy technology design
is need for a visible change
› The key is to dynamically put to idle
unused capacity
– CPU manufacturer have shown the potential of this
option. It will come to Network Processor over time:
› Semi dynamic: i.e. putting down to idle backup
linecards / or silicon handling specific port group
› Fully dynamic: Clock / power adjustment based on
dynamic traffic load
› At the network level critical savings are
must come from the access
– High promises from adaptive DSL modulation
Node level power savings are dependant from innovations

6. Network architecture
optimization
› Optimization of the power consumption of
individual nodes lead to significant Opex
savings
– I.e. Loaded cost of KW/H per year up to $2000
– 5KW node over 5 years = $50K
› Optimization of the network architecture
can lead to additional Opex but also
Capex savings
› While node level optimization is
dependant on the vendors roadmap the
operators are in full control of the network
architecture

› Over time centralized intelligent functions had been distributed further toward the
edge in order to scale with the bandwidth constraints. But it needs to be
balanced by the induced opex and capex and power efficiency cost.
› Technology improvements do not change fundamentally that balance
– Allow to build smarter functions with limited cost impact on the access nodes
– But also allows to build bigger Service Nodes for the same price
– Besides BW intelligence level also keeps increasing (LI, DPI, Mobility, v6, NAT…)
Keeping the aggregation/access simple optimizes the power

› Provides the BW efficiency of packet based multiplexing in the
transport layer for native packet services or emulated TDM circuits
› Allows to subsume overlay metro network capabilities into the transport
layer – a single layer of transport equipment to carry enterprise,
residential, fixed, mobile and wholesale traffic.
› Running a single integrated control plane / NMS across the packet and
optical layer allows to optimize the mapping between the optical
resources and the packet network transit

› OTN layers allows to efficiently multiplex packet and TDM transparent
services into the same lambda.
› As packet services are becoming predominant it makes sense to map
them directly over a lambda – integrating the WDM/OTN optics directly
into the packet switching function to optimize the processing
› Further optimizations are possible by doing a selective bypass of
certain traffic flows (i.e. toward centralized video hosting or internet
peering points)

20. Green your access
it starts at the Edge
› Vendors will gradually introduce green
technology design over time
› Operators should consider their network
architecture design with an holistic
approach to bring power / capex and
opex savings.
› Priorities must be set to the home /
access / aggregation where volumes can
drive the most significant savings
› The IP Edge is as a power saving enabler
– key to simplify the architecture of the
home, access and aggregation layers.
