Network power consumption can be reduced considerably by adapting link data rates to their offered traffic
loads. In this paper, we exploit how to leverage rate adaptation
for green networking by studying the following flow allocation
problem in wired networks: Given a set of candidate paths
for each end-to-end communication session, determine how to
allocate flow (data traffic) along these paths such that power
consumption is minimized, subject to the constraint that the
traffic demand of each session is satisfied. According to recent
measurement studies, we consider a discrete step increasing
function for link power consumption.
