Abstract
We investigate the energy-saving potential of transport protocols. We focus on the system-related aspect of energy. Do we have to damage or enhance system fairness in order to provide energy efficiency? We depart from defining protocol potential; we compare different transmission strategies and protocol mechanisms; and we report our results on the impact of each mechanism on system energy. We highlight our conclusion that protocol fairness appears to be a key factor for system energy efficiency.
