Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Power or energy consumption is a very important parameter for planning and designing network elements for the future Internet.
Research and development in energy consumption of network devices such as routers, switches, bridges, etc. is a major area where the industry and academia is currently focused.
It is imperative that switches and routers provide a very high capacity and throughput for ever-growing user demands.
Beside this high capacity they also need to be power efficient, highly reliable, and economical.
So, it is necessary to develop devices that consume very low energy and at the same time serve with the highest possible capacity.

This thesis presents an analysis of a compiled set of database of power consumption and networking functionalities found in datasheets and manuals of routers and switches of some major manufacturers.
This thesis gives general information of energy consumption of different vendors of routers and switches and also compares their energy efficiency.
Graphs representing the general trend of energy consumption of the routers and switches over the years are shown.

We found greater differences in power consumption between switches and routers of same capacity or data rate.
Thus, the thesis analyzes the significance of such results and urges the network planners to design energy efficient routers or lead a discussion or approach in a way to completely replace the routers with the less energy consuming switches.
Moreover, it also sheds some light on the most power consuming elements and networking features of routers that could be extremely useful in re-planning and operation of energy-efficient networks.
Comparisons of the routers and switches of same vendors are done and the best among them is also analyzed.
