NetFPGA power consumption: An detailed analysis of the power consumption on the NetFPGA platform varying the input traffic bit rate

摘要: Energy efficiency is being improved in the Internet equipment. This becoming an increasingly important research topic, motivated by need to reduce energy costs for Service Providers, as well increase power density achieve more switching capacity per-rack. In this work we consider NetFPGA platform, which popular routing platform networking due its versatility and low-cost.
