摘要：Energy consumption due to Internet access is increasing drastically in recent decade. As the numbers of users are increasing day by day, focus on reduction in energy consumption of various networks is an essential part of network challenges. Most of the energy saving mechanisms can reduce the energy consumption of the networks only during its idle state, i.e. when there is no traffic or lowest traffic conditions are there. However, energy consumption of the network during traffic processing is addressed by very few researchers. Therefore we try to reduce the energy consumption of the network during its active state. We find link rate adaptation schemes suitable for reduction in energy consumption when network equipment or switches are in active state
