This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.¶
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.¶
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."¶
This Internet-Draft will expire on 24 February 2025.¶

This memo extracts and groups requirements from the drafts which provided material [GREEN-BOF], [sustainability-insights], [legacy-path] and [rfc6988bis-green] to the green BoF. The aim is to determine initial sets of requirements actionable at different levels of the framework [last-charter].¶
The tables below respect the format and the semantic of operators requirements table of [last-charter].¶
| category | requirements | note | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inventory Management | component control capacity (aka component max on/off frequency supported) | Per component control | 1 (i) |
| Analysis | assess the gains of introducing eco-designed components in a device | Device Level Mgmt | 1 (ii) |
| Control& Mgmt | comprehensive support of network-wide energy efficiency includes legacy devices | Network Level Mgmt | 1 (iii) |
(i) Avoid control to break the component¶
(ii) the gain must be measurable¶
(iii) network-wide solution must include legacy devices and green-wg ready devices¶
| category | requirements | note | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control& Mgmt | Distinguish backup sources | rfc6988bis battery | 2 |
| Inventory Management | Reporting on Other Entities, typically smart PDU or PoE | Fit in "Inventory of power components (of devices, racks, etc) including together" | 2 |
| Observability or Interaction with Other domain | Room sensor (hvac...) | Data Center Case | 4 |
| Observability | flexible (future-proof) description of the nature of the sources of the energy used | Standard metric | 2 |
There are limited to energy consumption vs sustainability¶
| category | requirements | note | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Observability | Provide near-real-time energy consumption to different device types, service types, and individual users | Helps identify which devices or network functions are consuming more energy. | 2 |
| Migration or Upgrade | Provide KPIs for energy efficiency parameters, enhance accuracy of upgrade decisions | Helps make informed decisions about upgrades based on actual usage data. | |
| Recycling | Report on percentage of recycled user devices and components. Enable comprehensive reporting and recycling efforts | Major driver of the circular economy, transparency is key | 4 |
| Power Optimization | Provide KPIs for energy efficiency parameters. Perform actions to reduce energy consumption | Monitor network and application performance to optimize power usage | 4 |
| Control& Mgmt Switch off | Stop and restart WiFi APs with the right time, space, and service granularity | Save power consumption during periods when APs are not in use. | 2 |
