Abstract

As the Internet has grown, energy consumption and GHG emission from internet use have become issues in recent years. On the other hand, such interest in greening the Internet has focused on edge devices, and there is a lack of deeper related studies of the energy wasted by excessive network-connectivity and the savings potential in wired network equipment. This study presents the background and reasonability of studies on the energy efficiency of wired networks in terms of the environment, economy and energy resources. The energy consumption and savings potential of network equipment were also estimated and the major factors of energy consumption was analyzed based on the data, and future studies for the Internet are presented.

인터넷의 규모가 확대됨에 따라, 인터넷의 에너지 소모와 GHG(Green House Gas) 배출에 대한 문제는 최근의 새로운 이슈로 등장하였다. 그러나 이러한 문제를 다루는 인터넷 그리닝(Greening)에 대한 관심은 주로 엣지(Edge) 장비에 집중되어 있으며, 과도한 네트워크 연결성으로 인한 유선 네트워크 장비의 에너지 낭비량과 절약 잠재성에 대해서는 깊이 있는 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 유선 네트워크에서 에너지 효율성에 대한 관심의 배경과 연구의 타당성을 환경적, 경제적, 에너지 사용의 측면에서 상세히 제시한다. 그리고 네크워크 장비에서의 에너지 소모량과 절약 잠재성을 추정하고 도출한 데이터를 바탕으로 유선 네트워크 장비의 에너지 소모의 주된 요인을 분석하여, 향후 미래 인터넷 기술의 발전 방향을 제시한다.
