CoC on Broadband Communication Efficient Network Equipment and Infrastructure

Notes to Design a First Draft

Broadband Communication Already agreed definition: Broadband Communication is defined as „

Always-on (connected) Service ????

„

Providing a two way data service providing 128 kBit/s as a minimum

(Better: defining by “not to dial ...” ?)

Aims of the Code of Conduct „

„

Reducing energy consumption for networking and broadband communication equipment for existing and future appliances Cooperation with manufacturer to bring up “energy efficiency as an early state design item” and to define useful requirements for environmental conditions like requirements for air conditioning in data houses.

Focused Appliances „

Appliances for communication and broadband communication related to the end user (mostly located in households and small offices).

„

Appliances for network infrastructure related to the service provider (mostly located up to 2 km from the end user).

Endanwender

Netzwerk (Netzstruktur)

Netzwerkstruktur SOHO Endgeräte ( PC)

DSL Modem

Splitter

NTBA (ISDN)

D/A Wandler Telefon / FAX ...

DSLAM IP Netzwerk (z.B. Internet)

Telefonanschluss (TAE, kein Eigenverbrauch) SLMD PSTN (z.B. Telefon)

Different Tiers for Faster Success ? We should set up a first version of CoC very fast. So we should do this by introducing different tiers

„

Tier 1: „ „ „ „

Doing all needed definitions on terms and common standards Focusing on well known SOHO appliances Setting Limits for stand-by mode and referring to CoC on external Power Supplies Setting only a short period to be valid

Different Tiers for Faster Success „

Tier 2: „

Including network infrastructure appliances „ „

„ „ „

Influenced by hardware properties Influenced by “environmental” conditions

Including Voice over IP and other NGN features Including Power Line Converter for internal networking Setting a longer period to be valid

Extensions for Tier 2 „ „

„ „

Adding appliances of the networking infrastructure Adding requirements for condition under that the hardware should be running (air conditioning) Adding new appliances like VOIP devices Change criteria from Tier 1 (if applicable)

Different Tiers for Faster Success „

Tier 3: „ „ „

Adding more appliances (if useful) Adjusting the criteria and limits Looking on new developments and features

Common standards for measurement?

Measurements „

„

„

All devices: Electrical consumption depends on load? (if so then define max. load as default measure point ?) Devices with standby mode: Defining standby mode and procedure to wake it up again Using existing standard to measure the power consumption

Who should Sign/Join this CoC? „

„ „ „

Many appliances (especially form Tier 1) are sold in a bundle. Therefore, the provider should sign tis agreement. Manufacturer for end user equipment should sign the agreement. Manufacturer for networking infrastructure should join the group and sign. Groups for standardization of networking equipment, networking protocols and networking services should join this group

Upcoming „

(High) Power over Ethernet ((H)POE) http://www.panduit.com/enabling_technologies/098749.asp; up to 39W per Port

„

Voice over IP: Wireless (WLAN) / Wired Additional converter to use old equipment (e.g. AVM’s all in one box for FAX/ISDN/VOIP/DSL)

„

In House Streaming MM-Data (e.g. Apple Airport Express, MS MM-XP)

„ „

Ethernet on Power Lines (SOHO) High Speed Communication via Satellite ?
