Objectives:
- Starting from the definitions in T4.1 and T4.2 and the requirements in T4.2 and T3.2, specify the parameters to be monitored, related sample timings as well as limit values upon which rise warning alarms.
- Design and develop novel distributed frameworks that allow continuously and accurately monitoring network energy consumption and heat dissipation.
- Provide post-elaboration criteria for collected data that allow analysing historical trends and actual data of energy consumption, heat dissipations, network performance and traffic volumes at different aggregation and detail levels (e.g., per device component, per device, per link, per cabinets, etc.).
- Design novel centralized OAM tools for the energy-aware inspection of current configurations of networks, point-of-presence, cabinets, and devices on the basis of the information collected by the monitoring frameworks.
- Provide effective and concise visualization frameworks of energy consumption and savings, network performance and traffic loads that efficiently summarizes a vast array of date from individual devices, also offering features to drill down for detailed investigations.
- Provide novel green OAM algorithms for the long-term network design, planning and provisioning, which will take economic aspects (OPEX and CAPEX) into account.
- According to the definitions in T5.4, design and develop network paradigms for exchanging and storing measurement data in a scalable, time effective and secure way and in a format that is suitable for NOC application by tier-1 providers and ISPs.
- Introduce novel energy-aware OAM applications, which allow users at NOCs to remotely set up static configurations and preference in network devices. The OAM frameworks will provide an interface towards devices' control plane in order to modify requirements on routing algorithms when the operator modifies its energy saving related strategy.
- Enable the OAM and monitoring frameworks to communicate with the green abstraction layer, by developing the interfaces specified in T4.2.
