Hi Ron, I am not sure what types of platforms Zafar had in mind but I would be interested in your response how do you apply concept of power groups to single-chip/systems-on-chip (SoCs) 1RU pizza ODM boxes.
Would you say put each QSFP into a separate group and the only saving you could claim is to turn off laser on the selective sender interfaces after drying the entire traffic on it ? - - - A side two question - - - 1) To what % number of link utilization do you consider acceptable to consolidate traffic for the purpose of power saving on some other links ? 2) If the network is built in a bit complex way ... say there is Algo 0 but also 16 other Flex_Algo topologies I have a question how do you account for that such that before the optimization and after optimization traffic suddenly is not forwarded in a "foreign" topology ? Or is the current proposal simply not interested in addressing such networks ? Thx, R.
