Abstract
A packet transfer system includes a packet transfer unit (1) that transfers a packet between a first route and a second route, an electric buffer (2) that electrically stores and transfers the packet between the packet transfer unit (1) and the second route, and a power control unit (3) that controls power of the electric buffer (2) in accordance with traffic flowing through the electric buffer (2). It is thereby possible to provide a packet transfer system, a control device, a control method, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a control program capable of achieving lower energy consumption.
Claims12
A packet transfer system comprising:
- a packet transfer unit that transfers a packet between a first route and a second route;
- an electric buffer for electrically storing and transferring the packet between the packet transfer units and the second route;
- and
- a power control unit that controls power of the electric buffer in accordance with traffic flowing through the electric buffer.
A control device comprising:
- a traffic detection unit that detects traffic flowing through an electric buffer included in a node constituting a network, the electric buffer electrically storing a packet transferred by the node;
- and
- a power control unit that controls power of the electric buffer in accordance with the detected traffic.
A control method comprising:
- detecting traffic flowing through an electric buffer included in a node constituting a network, the electric buffer electrically storing a packet transferred by the node;
- and
- controlling power of the electric buffer in accordance with the detected traffic.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a control program causing a computer to perform a control process comprising:
- detecting traffic flowing through an electric buffer included in a node constituting a network, the electric buffer electrically storing a packet transferred by the node;
- and
- controlling power of the electric buffer in accordance with the detected traffic.
A packet transfer system comprising:
- a packet transfer means for transferring a packet between a first route and a second route;
- an electric buffer for electrically storing and transferring the packet between the packet transfer means and the second route;
- and
- a power control means for controlling power of the electric buffer in accordance with traffic flowing through the electric buffer.
A control device comprising:
- a traffic detection means for detecting traffic flowing through an electric buffer included in a node constituting a network, the electric buffer electrically storing a packet transferred by the node;
- and
- a power control means for controlling power of the electric buffer in accordance with the detected traffic.
