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. 

Thanks,
Mingui
