Thanks — I was too open-ended and broad, so let me clarify. This is not about the particulars of any specific network or requiring confidential inputs. The intent is simply to ensure that the evaluation captures the net system-level impact (i.e., whether the mechanisms enable sufficient consolidation to reduce overall energy consumption relative to a baseline.) In other words, the considering both sides: the additional overhead introduced, and the potential energy savings from traffic consolidation and resource idling.
