Software routers are becoming popular building blocks of software defined networking, due to their low cost and flexibility. Netmap is a platform that allows packet processing with high throughputs using standard computing hardware. The algorithm for energy-efficient network processing based on netmap platform, named energy-efficient netmap (EEN) is proposed and evaluated. EEN saves the energy by minimising the number of active cores needed to handle the given traffic load. Appreciable energy savings that can be achieved by the proposed algorithm is demonstrated.
