Energy-Efficient Management and Control in Video Distribution Networks: ‘Legacy’ Hardware-Based Solutions and Perspectives of Virtualized Networking Environments

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Greening Video Distribution Networks

Part of the book series: Computer Communications and Networks ((CCN))

Abstract

In this chapter, we focus in particular on the issue of the trade-off between network/service performance and energy efficiency in the context of video distribution networks (VDNs). We first provide a short review on the current state and on energy/performance-related aspects in VDNs; then, we consider both local and network-wide management and control policies in this context, and the role of suitable abstractions to convey energy efficiency related parameters to the management and control entities. We address both ‘traditional’ networking architectures based on specialized hardware, and the evolution towards virtualized infrastructures, where multiple players (applications, network service providers and infrastructure providers) interact in a more dynamic environment.
