Abstract:
Nowadays, new technologies are focused on providing ubiquity and the possibility of accessing services from everywhere while reducing power consumption and the CO2 emissions in networking. Furthermore, the process of network virtualization is more and more used. However, both concepts are not currently treated as a set. For this reason, this paper presents a practical evaluation where the power consumption in a virtualized network is measured. To do it, we have developed a topology composed by several virtual routers that emulates the core of a network through which we have sent several data flows. Measurements have been performed by using http and video streaming traffic while running Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2) as routing protocols. Result shows that both protocols present similar behavior when streaming traffic is sent while RIPv2 demands more CPU usage when http traffic is sent. Finally, the energy consumption in http traffic is always bigger.
