Abstract

Every year, we move more than 1 zettabytes of data over the Internet globally, which consumes several terawatt hours of electricity, and costs billions of US dollars to the world economy. HTTP protocol is used in the majority of these datatransfers, accounting 70% of the global Internet traffic. We claim that HTTP transfers can become more energy efficientwithout any performance degradation, and the overall data movement cost can be reduced drastically. In this paper, we analyze several application-layer parameters that affect the throughput and power consumption in HTTP data transfers, such as the level of parallelism, concurrency, and pipelining. Our experimental results show that up to 80% of energy savings canbe achieved at the sending and receiving nodes during HTTP data transfers and the end-To-end throughput can be increased at the same time.
