Abstract
Dynamic Streaming over HTTP is the main standard used for online video streaming, service that has about 1.1 billion subscribers around the world. That implies billions of streaming connections between video servers and client displays. These devices involved in the streaming connection use an Ethernet Interface Card that consumes energy. In order to reduce the energy consumption, the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet has been proposed. In this study, the ethernet traffic pattern when transmitting online video content is characterized in order to analyze the efficiency of the IEEE 802.3az standard under video streaming scenarios, and to verify the convenience of activating this energy saving alternative at the network interface of billions of client devices.
