  During the last few years, there has been plenty of research for reducing
energy consumption in telecommunication infrastructure. However, many of the
proposals remain unim-plemented due to the lack of flexibility in legacy
networks. In this paper we demonstrate how the software defined networking
(SDN) capabilities of current networking equipment can be used to implement
some of these energy saving algorithms. In particular, we developed an ONOS
application to realize an energy-aware traffic scheduler to a bundle link made
up of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) links between two SDN switches. We show
how our application is able to dynamically adapt to the traffic characteristics
and save energy by concentrating the traffic on as few ports as possible. This
way, unused ports remain in Low Power Idle (LPI) state most of the time, saving
energy.
