Clarification to the following comment. [snip] This is an area that telcos care about. The issue of unused links is that there is also capital investment into such unused links, not just power usage. .... If I look at my networks, I will be reducing power by reducing parallel infrastructure. I think that if I was reducing power, I would do this first. If the re-engineering costs of the network are more than the power savings. [snip]
The method is not to shut down links all the time. The power saving should be achieved in those off-peak hours. When the load increases, sleeping links should be waken up to carry traffic. Therefore sleeping links are not equal to unused links or down links.
