Embodiment Construction

[0046] Various embodiments of the invention will be described in detail below. It should be understood that, while specific implementations are discussed, this is done for illustrative purposes only. A person skilled in the art will appreciate that other components and configurations may be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

[0047] Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) networks attempt to save energy when network traffic utilization is not at its maximum. This is to minimize the impact on performance while minimizing power consumption. At a broad level, the EEE control policy for a particular network link determines when to enter an energy-saving state, what energy-saving state to enter (e.g., the level of energy saving), how long to What energy-saving state to switch to, etc. Traditional EEE control policies are designed to base their decisions on static settings established by IT managers and the traffic characteristics of the link itself.

Abstract

A system and method for adjusting an energy efficient Ethernet (EEE). An EEE-enabled device can be designed to report EEE event data. This reported EEE event data can be used to quantify the actual EEE benefits of the EEE-enabled device, debug the EEE-enabled device, and adjust the EEE control policy.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of energy efficient Ethernet (energy efficient Ethernet, referred to as EEE), and more specifically, the present invention relates to a system and method for adjusting an energy efficient Ethernet control strategy using measured energy saving values. Background technique [0002] In recent years, energy costs have continued to rise at an accelerated rate. In this case, various industries are paying more and more attention to the impact of rising costs. IT infrastructure is one industry that has attracted increasing scrutiny. Many companies are now studying the power consumption of their IT systems to determine if they can reduce energy costs. For this reason, an industry is emerging that focuses on energy-efficient networking (IEEE802.3az) that addresses the rising cost of IT equipment usage as a whole (e.g., PCs, monitors, printers, servers, network equipment, etc.) The problem. [0003] One of the factor...
