Book excerpt: This book introduces the technical foundations and tools for estimating the power consumption of internet networks and services, including a detailed description of how these models are constructed and applied. Modeling the Power Consumption and Energy Efficiency of Telecommunications Networks can be used to gain insight into the construction of mathematical models that provide realistic estimates of the power consumption of internet networks and services. This knowledge enables forecasting the energy footprint of future networks and services to integrate sustainability and environmental considerations into network planning and design. FEATURES Provides the motivation for developing mathematical models for telecommunications network and service power consumption and energy efficiency modeling Presents factors impacting overall network and service power consumption Discusses the types of network equipment and their power consumption profiles Reviews the basics of power modeling, including network segmentation, traffic forecasting, top-down and bottom-up models, wired and wireless networks, data centers and servers Explores the application of energy efficiency metrics for equipment, networks, and services This book is aimed at students and technologists as well as technology managers and policy makers. This book will be of value to any organization that wishes to estimate the energy footprint of the use of information and communications technologies. This book can also be integrated into a course on the sustainability of information and communications technologies.
