what the industry needs is active Power-Control-Protocol (over IP – PCP/IP for short) that can power up only the active parts of all networking equipment and turn off power to unused ports/blades OR re-assign connections to fewer active line-cards to save power.

that, imho, is what needs to be done across vendors….. anyone ?
