Abstract

Current methods for calculating sustainability metrics of network links are based on fixed-rate estimations. We present a context-aware model of energy consumption, also providing an open-source tool that enables developers to use the Internet more efficiently. In a proof of concept, we collected and analyzed a two-month dataset covering 43 AWS and Microsoft endpoints.
