Hi Cleber,

Sounds like you want "COTS product" instead of building one. If that is the
case, take a look at ElasticTree:
https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/nsdi10/tech/full_papers/heller.pdf
https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi10-0/elastictree-saving-energy-data-center-networks

You can also try to re-implement their idea.

Regarding routes, controllers usually keep track of link state changes and
give routes accordingly (take a look at how Floodlight keeps track of links
using LLDP).

Data collection could be done with sflow/netflow or openflow for bandwidth
(if you use floodlight, you can use the REST API to get flow and port
counters:
http://www.openflowhub.org/display/floodlightcontroller/Floodlight+REST+API
).

To measure power consumption, I believe that would be vendor specific (if
they provide that functionality) or you need to have a smart/metered PDU
that measures power per port.

Hope that helps,
