Title
Energy-aware data throughput optimization for next generation internet.
Abstract
According to recent statistics, more than 1 zettabytes of data is moved over the Internet annually, which consumes several terawatt hours of electricity, and costs billions of US dollars to the world economy. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is used in the majority of these data transfers, accounting for 70% of the global Internet traffic. We claim that HTTP transfers, and the services based on HTTP, can become more energy efficient without any performance degradation by application-level tuning of certain protocol parameters. In this paper, we analyze several application-level parameters that affect the throughput and energy consumption in HTTP data transfers, such as the level of parallelism, concurrency, and pipelining. We introduce novel service-level-agreement (SLA) based algorithms which can decide the best combination of these parameters considering user-defined energy efficiency and performance criteria. Our experimental results show that up to 80% energy savings can be achieved at the client and server hosts during HTTP data transfers, while increasing the end-to-end transfer throughput at the same time.
