In backbone networks, the line cards that drive the links between neighboring routers consume a large amount of energy. Since these networks are typically overprovisioned, selecti...
Advances in networking technology have enabled network engineers to use sampled data from routers to estimate network flow volumes and track them over time. However, low sampling ...
