Engenharia de Tráfego Aplicada a Redes Verde

This paper presents a Traffic Engineering technique applied to Green Networks which concerns on the optimization formulation, rather than on heuristic methods, as usually observed in the literature, and is focused on the backbone of an IP network, presenting an approach to select routers and circuits to be switched off during periods of low n etwork traffic The associated linear optimization program, although frequently very large, can be broken by decomposition techniqu es into several low size ones, thus bringing the original p roblem to the realm of practical feasibility
