Objectives: 
  • Integrate revised versions of data-plane board prototypes developed and selected in WP3 and T6.1 into integrated green device platforms.
  • In detail, the board prototypes will be integrated into the following platforms:
    • Low and medium performance green routers based on COTS hardware and including some of the green network interface boards developed in the project;
    • Two typologies of transport L2 Switches;
    • Two typologies of DSLAMs;
    • Two typologies of Home gateways/CPE.
    Two kind of architectural approaches will be pursued to realize the above platforms:
    • SW router based: high-end PC-based architectures, each one with a sub-set of green aware data-plane boards from T5.1. The PC will provide all the functionalities not included in the board prototypes.
    • Stand alone devices: prototypes directly realized on existing platforms and evaluation boards made available at no additional costs by industrial partners.
  • Integrate:
    • the Green Abstraction Layer by developing the needed SW and FW modules to interface all board/platform prototypes at data-plane (both SW routers and stand-alone devices).
    • the selected set of the most promising local control, OAM, monitoring and optimization techniques developed in T5.1 and T5.3 by interfacing and developing SW modules to interface such applications to the Green Abstraction Layer.
  • Set up a different benchmarking scenario and test case for each typology of developed platform by following the indications of T2.3.
  • Carry out a performance evaluation, experimentation and validation of performance- and energy-aware behaviour of single entire devices. These experiments will be partially realized in the laboratories of involved partners and partially in the test plant of TELIT.
