You mention calculation in the draft, but I didn’t see this reflected in the 
data model.  Note that I’m not sure the data model needs to address 
calculations per se.  I think you could spell those out outside of YANG, with 
respect to the data objects.  I just expected to see some specifics or examples 
of using the modeled data to reflect a composite energy efficiency metric.


[Marisol]
Calculations will be part of what we consider part of the POWEFF-derived module
We need more discussions, and feedback from the group on it
Our next steps are considering linking into the draft-lindblad-tlm-philatelist 
proposal. This module should contribute to the data produced by the 
aggregation/processor, where we might need to consume from pointers and 
metadata, like ietf-interfaces model.


[JMC] Ah, okay.  Some of those things didn’t seem like calculations so much as 
specs or real-time measurements.  That said, energy-traffic-ratio fits the 
calculation definition and seems useful.



On the data model, I’m a bit confused why the network interface module is 
needed.  In your text about this you say that it might line up exactly to 
standardized modules, but it’s needed for those things that are not network 
devices.  What devices are not network devices that have network interfaces and 
don’t fit into the general, say, ietf-interfaces model?

[Marisol]
Our thought it is more in the direction on how to add into “useful work” and 
which attributes/“sensors” might be part of it. As part of the asset 
definition, we are not only looking into network devices, but we also consider 
servers, as part of compute, they also have defined interfaces, and it might be 
where YANG ietf-interface model doesn’t fit well. But we agree that pointers 
should address different types of assets.

[JMC] Such as?  What compute interfaces wouldn’t fit with what you’re currently 
modeling in the interfaces?

As chair, I’d love to see how this factors into the green networking metrics 
work that has been presented at opsawg before.  Some of the text touches on 
similar topics.  Perhaps POWEFF can be seen to take a practical approach to 
some of the concepts and thoughts in draft-cx-opsawg-green-metrics?

[Marisol]
We have scheduled a Side Meeting on Monday morning, and it will be great to 
review with the green-metrics authors, how we should move forward
Side meeting: Monday Nov 6, 8:45 - 9:30                Karlin 4 Sustainability 
Insights. Description: Gaps on Power Metrics Normalization

[JMC] Excellent.

Many thanks,

Subject: [OPSAWG] FW: New Version Notification for draft-opsawg-poweff-00.txt
Dear OPSA WG,

Earlier this week, we posted a new draft that introduces a data model for power 
and energy related metrics :
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-opsawg-poweff/




The focus is mainly on runtime information provided by power sensors, but also 
an extension to other related metrics and given attributes that will complement 
the representation of the energy consumed by the network device, implemented in 
hardware or software, as well as by specific network components.
This is a first-version approach where we see still challenges based on 
implementation.
Note: Some of those challenges are covered on Jan`s draft: 
draft-lindblad-tlm-philatelist<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-lindblad-tlm-philatelist/>

Along with POWEFF draft, we’ve also updated the version of the Sustainability 
Insights draft:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-almprs-sustainability-insights/
where we introduced an updated architecture reference diagram, that provides a 
more structured view of the functional blocks that might be part of where those 
attributes and metrics might be produced, processed, visualized, etc. We also 
have reviewed and added Use Cases that such framework could drive.

We greatly appreciate your thoughts and comments.

Many thanks,
Marisol Palmero

A new version of Internet-Draft draft-opsawg-poweff-00.txt has been
successfully submitted by Marisol Palmero and posted to the
IETF repository.

Name:     draft-opsawg-poweff
Revision: 00
Title:    Power and Energy Efficiency

Group:    Individual Submission
Pages:    37

Abstract:

   This document motivates and specifies a data model to report power
   and energy efficiency of an asset.  As highlighted during the IAB
   workshop on environmental impacts
   (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-iab-ws-environmental-
   impacts-report-00), visibility is a very important first step
   (paraphrasing Peter Drucker's mantra of "You cannot improve what you
   don't measure").  During the workshop the need for standardized
   metrics was established, to avoid proprietary, double counting and
   even contradictory metrics across vendors.

   This Power and Energy Efficiency Telemetry Specification (POWEFF) is
   required to promote consistency across vendors and consumers, based
   on: 1.  The definition of datasets and attributes defining a common
   data model utilized by the standard calculation to yield power and
   energy efficiency value for any asset or network element.  2.  The
   standard calculations utilizing the specified datasets and attributes
   which will yield energy consumption and energy efficiency value for
   any asset or network element.

   The model provides information and data requirements for calculating
   the Power and Energy Efficiency for specific assets.  Assets can
   include hardware (physical or virtual), software, applications, or
   services.
