“…One of its goals is to control and optimise the routing function to steer traffic through the network in an effective way [11], providing appropriate Quality of Service (QoS) and efficient use of network resources. Over the years, interest has grown on applying traffic engineering as a network-wide technique to improve the energy efficiency of network resources [41,43,14]; such efforts are hereafter termed simply as Green Traffic Engineering (GreenTE). Although obtained results are promising, much of the work remains based on numerical analyses and simulation.…”

“…In our previous work [19,18,9], we investigated SDN enabled traffic engineering to redirect data flows and reduce energy consumption. We also considered SDN based energy-aware anycast routing [14] extended by introducing cloud services differentiation [15], models of cooperation between SDN controller and cloud orchestration software [17] and the concept of interplay between fog and cloud infrastructures supported by wide area software defined networking [16]. As experimenting with production networks is rarely possible, the proposed techniques have been evaluated using a discrete-event simulation tool (OMNet++ [5]), which provided very promising and valuable results.…”

As experimenting with energy-aware techniques on large-scale production infrastructure is prohibitive, a large number of proposed traffic-engineering strategies have been evaluated only using discrete-event simulations. The present work discusses (i) challenges towards building testbeds that allow researchers and practitioners to validate and evaluate the performance and quality of energy-aware traffic-engineering strategies, (ii) requirements to fulfill when porting simulations to testbeds, and (iii) two proof-of-concept testbeds. One testbed uses and provides Software-Defined Network (SDN) services created on the Open Network Operating System (ONOS) while the other is a composition of virtual Open vSwitches (OVS) controlled by the Ryu SDN framework. The aim of the testbeds is to validate previously proposed energy-aware traffic engineering strategies in different environments. We detail the platforms and illustrate how they have been used for performance evaluation. Additionally, the paper compares results obtained in the testbeds with evaluations performed using discrete-event simulations and presents challenges faced while implementing energyaware traffic engineering mechanisms as SDN services in testbed environments.

“…Numerous assumptions taken in this paper come from two of our previous works: [24] and [25]. In [24] we proposed three anycast strategies and compared them to three reference strategies with regard to network blocking probability and carbon dioxide emission.…”

“…In [24] we proposed three anycast strategies and compared them to three reference strategies with regard to network blocking probability and carbon dioxide emission. The main difference between [24] and this paper comes from the fact that in our previous work DCs had infinite computing resources and were assumed to offer only one type of cloud service. In [25] we introduced three types of cloud services and proposed schemas for fitting different anycast strategies to those services.…”

The paper focuses on cooperation between cloud and network operators, as well as on fitting particular routing strategies to various cloud services. Three cooperation models are presented, analyzed and compared in the paper: the proposed model and two widely used reference models. The main difference between the models is the set of information being exchanged between the involved parties. Additionally, we analyze the applicability of four fitting schemas for each considered model. It is shown that the proposed model, alongside with an appropriate fitting schema, is able to reduce the blocking probability of cloud services requests. At the same time, thanks to the use of green anycast strategies, it is able to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emission.

As experimenting with energy-aware techniques on largescale production infrastructure is prohibitive, several proposed trafficengineering strategies have been evaluated using discrete-event simulation. The present work discusses (i) challenges towards building testbeds that allow researchers and practitioners to validate and evaluate the performance of energy-aware traffic-engineering strategies and (ii) requirements when porting simulations to testbeds. We discuss a proof-ofconcept platform and an application that both use and provide Software-Defined Network (SDN) services created on the Open Network Operating System (ONOS) to validate previously proposed energy-aware traffic engineering strategies. We detail the platform and illustrate how it has been used for performance evaluation.
