This is the IETF, not the IRTF, and not an IEEE academic conference or journal. In IETF, standards are supposed to be written for protocols whose underlying mechanism are known to work. The "running code" and "deployment" before standards advancement was largely to prevent standards for unproven theories. IRTF can take on standards (usually experimental, not standards track) for important work that is research in nature but regarded as very promising. That is why I made the comment: If you want to try to advance a research paper with your theories on power reduction, please choose an appropriate venue such as a refereed technical journal. IMO that is where this work belongs, not IETF. You can do studies, like 1) finding out what kinds of interfaces exist in core networks (hint: not 100 MbE or 10 MbE), 2) how much active power each draw per bit (if you want to not put interfaces into standby), and 3) then estimate the potential gains. If the estimates are promising *and* the assumptions are realistic, then it may be something the IRTF or IETF might consider. That is along the lines of what the Zhang paper did. I'm not sure the Zhang assumptions are realistic (who uses an OC3 today?), but as academic papers go ... it may have touched on some new ground.
