[routing-wg] FYI: Green Routing protocols

FYI:

There are many papers about Green Routing protocols. [2],[3]

This paper [1] is an example from Prof Simon Romano which presents an 
"extension of the OSPF protocol to optimize the overall energy 
consumption of the network."

The algorithm devised in this paper represents an engineering approach 
to the solution of the well known (though still open) issue of dynamic 
network topology adaptation to improve energy efficiency.

For the GOSPF proposal there is running code available for people who 
want to play with it (https://wpage.unina.it/spromano/gospf/). It was 
based on the Quagga suite.It would need some tweaking in order to work 
with the current releases of the software.
