Abstract :
Energy consumption can be reduced by powering down components within a router, switch, or other network device during inter-packet idle periods. A predictive power management method based on exponential smoothing and detection of very long idle periods is developed. Long idle periods are detected using quantile estimation. The method improves upon that of Hwang and Wu.
