Improving the Energy Efficiency of Ethernet-Connected Devices: A Proposal for Proxying
Overview Being connected to the Internet requires some active participation. When devices fail to do this, they "Fall off the net" and applications break. Today, billions of dollars' worth of electricity are used to keep Ethernet (and other) connected devices fully powered on at all times only for the purpose of maintaining this connectivity. If not for the network connectivity, most of these devices could be asleep the majority of the time, with greater energy savings resulting. Saving energy can be achieved by the addition of a proxying capability, which is defined as "An entity that maintains full network presence for a sleeping device".
