Abstract

Systems and methods for analyzing power or energy consumption parameters measured at each of a plurality of nodes or Network Elements (NEs) of a network are provided. A system, according to one implementation, includes a processing device and a memory device configured to store computer logic. The computer logic, for example, may be configured to enable the processing device to receive a power consumption value corresponding to an amount of energy expended at each of a plurality of NEs in a network. Also, the computer logic may be configured to enable the processing device to calculate a cumulative power consumption total from the power consumption values associated with the NEs arranged along a path in the network.
