NetFPGA power consumption

Energy efficiency is being improved in the Internet equipment. This is becoming an increasingly important research topic, motivated by the need to reduce energy costs for Internet Service Providers, as well as increase power density to achieve more switching capacity per-rack. In this work we consider the NetFPGA platform, which is becoming an increasingly popular routing platform for networking research due to its versatility and low-cost.
