Abstract-Internet infrastructure energy consumption is a major topic of research nowadays due to environmental and economical concerns. Therefore, it is increasingly important new solutions that decrease energy consumption, but without impairing network throughput and costs. Hence, it is important to survey and categorize current techniques, not only applicable to IP networks, but that can also be potentially useful for the future Internet architectures, such as Publish-Subscribe architectures. Therefore, to achieve such goals this paper presents a survey on energy efficient architectures and functional mechanisms (such as energy adaptive routing) for the current and future Internet. The main goals are: to provide an overview of the issues of the current Internet architecture; to identify the contribution of the different proposals for the future Internet architecture; and to discuss energy saving techniques which improve Internet energy efficiency.Index Terms-Energy, future internet architectures, energy efficient routing, traffic engineering, survey.

“…Important switch parameters include switching time, insertion loss (and loss uniformity), crosstalk, extinction ratio, and polarisation-dependent loss (PDL) [33]. The main limitations to the implementation of electro-optic switches in OXC architectures are optical loss, noise and crosstalk [34,35].…”

This paper considers the performance of an alloptical packet-switched cross-connect. All-optical header processing and all-optical routing are implemented in the cross-connect architectures. The main metric considered to measure the performance is the packet loss ratio for the buffering. This is influenced primarily by three factors. The first is the cross-connect architecture: feedback or feed-forward buffering, incorporating wavelength domain contention resolution. The second is the selection of the fibre delay line distribution: degenerate or non-degenerate distributions. And the third is the traffic load together with the traffic model used for the performance analysis: a Poisson distribution or a selfsimilar model. It is shown that the optimal implementation of a feedback buffer requires a technique such as overflow buffering as well as the superior performance of an all-optical switch in order to maintain signal quality through multiple recirculations.

“…In addition, due to the high capacity transmission of optical communication systems, the optical switches are considered as good solution of the electronic switches speed limitation [9]. Optical switches main advantage is its ability to route the signals without the need of electronic conversion which leads to independence on data rate and protocols.…”

In this paper, we present novel mechanisms for tuning and controlling the response of novel plasmonic filter using metal-insulator-metal (MIM) configuration. These mechanisms allow for full control on the transmission response from these waveguide based structures. This control can be done electrically or mechanically. The applications and advantages of these novel schemes are discussed in details. Wideband tuning range has been obtained using these schemes.
