• Energy-aware Routing Algorithm
The power consumption of network equipment has stimulated several research efforts
devoted to the study of new mechanisms to optimize the energy utilization. The
characterization of the energy consumption of a network equipment in function of its
traffic throughput, denoted as Energy Profile (EP), permits the study of routing
solutions aimed at minimizing the overall energy consumption of the network. In this
framework, the main goal of this master thesis is the study of new routing algorithms
able to minimize the power consumption of the network, while maintaining the
performance required by the applications.

The course presents the main network switching architectures, with particular focus on packet switching architectures. After
a brief introduction to the notions of circuit and packet switching, the course will focus on the main schemes of packet
switching together with their performance and possible issues. The course will also present the OpenFlow platform to run
experimental switching solutions. Then, the course will deal with packet processing and will show the main lookup and
classification algorithms currently in use. Finally, the course addresses the topic of traffic measurements by introducing
advanced probabilistic and deterministic data structures for high performance monitoring applications and pattern matching
