Summary: Energy efficiency has become one of the most important aspects for both today's and tomorrow's telecommunications infrastructures. Taking energy into account induces a new constraint when managing a network. To tackle the integration of the energy constraint into the networks, ETSI has recently standardized the Green Abstraction Layer [ETSI ES 203 237] which is an interface between the resource and the control planes of a network that enables control plane processes to manage the power management capabilities of fixed network nodes to effectively adapt the energy consumption of the network nodes with respect to the load variations. One of the challenges is now to define the integration of Green Abstraction Layer into a Software-Defined Networking architecture [ITU-T Y.3302] in which the connections between a set of network resources are on demand and are managed by one or more Software-Defined Networking controllers.
