Skilled in the Art of Being Idle: Reducing Energy Waste in Networked Systems
S. Nedevschi, J. Chandrashekar, J. Liu, B. Nordman, S. Ratnasamy, N. Taft, “Skilled in the Art of Being Idle: Reducing Energy Waste in Networked Systems,” NSDI’09, (April 2009). [PDF] Summary This paper argues that putting networked end-systems into low-power sleep modes, instead of keeping them in higher-power-consuming idle states, can result in significant energy savings. ...

Scalable Reliable Multicast
S. Floyd, V. Jacobson, S. McCanne, C-G Liu, L. Zhang, “A Reliable Multicast Framework for Light-weight Sessions and Application Level Framing,” ACM SIGCOMM Conference, (August 1995). [PDF] Summary Unlike unicast transmissions where requirements for different reliable, sequential data delivery are fairly general, different multicast applications have different requirements for reliability. The authors argue that designing ...
