6、hodology for assessing the energy consumption of an information and communication technology (ICT) service. This assessment is based upon the traffic generated by the service and the equipment through which that traffic propagates. Methods for assessing the power consumption or efficiency of ICT net

7、works have been studied for some time. In many cases, the assessment is focused on equipment and networks rather than on the services that are conveyed by that equipment. Examples include energy consumption rating (ECR) and telecommunications energy efficiency ratio (TEER). In addition to methods de

8、aling primarily with power consumption, Recommendation ITU-T L.1410 provides a methodology for evaluating the environmental impact of ICT equipment, networks and services objectively and transparently, and is based upon life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. Recommendation ITU-T L.1410 gives gener

9、al principles for service level assessments and allocation of network power consumption between services. This Supplement proposes a more detailed methodology for an assessment of the power consumption of a specific ICT service that shares infrastructure with other services. This enables companies t

10、o allocate power consumption of all segments of the network (i.e., the allocation can be made in the customer premises equipment (CPE), access, metro and core networks) to specific services based on throughput. This Supplement provides an overview of the method and a step-by-step description of the

23、is Supplement provides a methodology for assessing the power consumption of an information and communication technology (ICT) service for a situation where power consumption scales with traffic or throughput. A formal description of the proposed methodology is presented. This Supplement describes ho

24、w to estimate the power consumption of an ICT service based on data from network power consumption measurement. According to ITU L.1410, which provides high level guidance for service assessment, different network equipment types should be allocated based on different parameters, such as throughput

25、or user time. This Supplement specifically deals with services based on equipment that scales with throughput. It is recognized that, in the future, most network equipment will have the capability to automatically monitor its power consumption. However, for current generation and legacy network equi

26、pment, certain network measurements may be unavailable or missing due to the lack of a network monitoring platform, the lack of an automated data collection platform and corrupted or missing network data. Therefore, this Supplement also outlines the methodology to estimate the missing network data i

27、n order to provide a meaningful assessment of service power consumption. It is important to understand that there are many other ways to assess the power consumption of ICT services and the proposed methodology is not the only way to address this problem. However, the methodology presented in this S

28、upplement provides a clear and justifiable path for the network operator and ICT service provider to understand the allocation of power (and hence greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions) to the provider of services utilizing equipment with a power consumption that scales with throughput. The value provided

29、by this Supplement is that it enables a service or network provider to assess the specific power consumption for their service traffic though network equipment that their traffic shares with other service providers traffic. This is important when a service provider desires to determine the power con

30、sumption of their services. This, in turn, will be necessary to provide input for assessing or reporting the GHG emissions or costs of the services they provide to their customers. NOTE Comparisons of results from environmental assessments of ICT services, which have been performed by different orga

31、nizations, are beyond the scope of this Supplement, as such comparisons would require that the assumptions and context of each study are equivalent. 2 References ITU-T L.1410 Recommendation ITU-T L.1410 (2014), Methodology for environmental life cycle assessments of information and communication tec

36、on profile of almost all network goods (customer premises equipment (CPE), routers, switches, cross-connects etc.) can be principally described by the linear graph in Figure 1. In reality, different shapes exist. This profile consists of an idle power Pmin and an increase in power as the throughput

37、increases from zero to the maximum throughput the equipment can sustain. The throughput changes as the data size carried by the network equipment over a certain period of time (this can be deduced from port log of the network equipment). L series Supplement 33 (10/2016) 3 Figure 1 Power consumption

38、dependence on throughput The light shaded region corresponds to idle power Pmin. The dark shaded area corresponds to the incremental power consumption incurred when traffic propagates through the network equipment. CTot is defined as the total throughput of the network equipment and PTot as the oper

39、ating power consumption of the network equipment corresponding to CTot. There are two contributions to the total power consumption of the network equipment: the idle power Pmin and the incremental power incurred, in addition to Pmin, by the increase in equipment power consumption due to an increase

40、in equipment throughput. For equipment that scales well with throughput, the difference between Pmin and Pmax can be substantial for other types of equipment the curve may be almost flat. The purpose of the methodology is to allocate a proportion of the network equipments total power consumption to

41、an ICT service that is carried by this network equipment. This allocation will apply when that service is one of many simultaneously being propagated through this network equipment unit. If there is only one service propagating through the network equipment, then the entire power consumption of that

42、 network equipment can be allocated to that service. This Supplement addresses the non-trivial case when multiple services share that network good and these services have different bandwidth requirements. Moreover, each service crosses several telecommunication goods shared with other services. 7 Al

43、location of power The main purpose of this Supplement is to assess the power consumption of a telecom service. A service could be voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) or video streaming. However, this Supplement encompasses more complex services. For example, software-as-a-service where network opera

44、tors provide cloud services to customers. Both network operators and customers would like to know the power consumption of cloud services. For infrastructure-as-a-service, the network operator manages the network infrastructure of a customer and again the customer would like to know the power consum

45、ption of such network infrastructure. For platform-as-a-service, the network operator provides a network platform for multiple customers to support their businesses and the customers would like to know the power consumption of using the platform to run their businesses. 4 L series Supplement 33 (10/

46、2016) Furthermore, referring to clause 5.2.3.3.4 of ITU-T L.1410, the allocation of equipment power consumption to an ICT service is often based on annual data traffic of the service. The service traffic Cj can be estimated by summing the total traffic in a year and dividing by time to get the funct

47、ional unit of bits per second. In some cases, time and number of users can be more applicable parameters. However, as this Supplement is intended to assess the power consumption of a service that scales with traffic, the corresponding functional unit for the service would be bits per second. In this

48、 Supplement, the methodology allocates the total power of the network equipment to the service based on the ratio of service traffic to maximum throughput of the network equipment. In other words, the fundamental assumption is that the power allocation to services is based on the principle that each

49、 service through the network equipment is allocated an amount of power so that the total allocated power is the total equipment power, PTot, whereby: Nj jPP 1Tot(1) If there are N services each with traffic propagating through the network equipment, the equipments power to each service (Pj) will be allocated depending on the traffic of the service (Cj). For cases where a specific ICT service is provided by multiple service providers, the total power of the service is then the sum of all power sources of the same se
