Abstract:
The energy efficiency of purpose-built and virtualization-aided general-purpose telecom equipment is compared based on power measurements, traffic observations and network modelling. The results show improved energy efficiency of software realizations based on general-purpose systems originating from finer-granular capacity provisioning.
