Greening the Internet; Power Optimization

My seminar topic in the second semester of MTech

The internet has become a part of our lifestyle and has been growing at enormous pace. The architects of the Internet, though absolutely successful in connecting much more nodes than they had ever imagined, never looked at power optimization as one of the design goals. The consequence is that the protocols and devices waste, collectively, a substantial amount of energy.

In the recent years, researchers have identified this issue as significant and have proposed modifications to the underlying Internet architecture. My aim is to study the current state-of-the-world in this field and put forth a comprehensive summary of my findings.

This seminar is guided by Prof. Kameswari Chebrolu of IIT Bombay.
