Abstract :
In this paper we investigate the use of network coding to improve energy efficiency of core networks. A mixed integer linear programming model is developed to optimize routing in network coding enabled non-bypass IP/WDM networks considering unicast traffic flows. We quantify the power savings obtained by implementing network coding. The results show that network coding can improve the energy efficiency of non-bypass IP/WDM networks by up to 33% compared to conventional architectures.
