Given its path-selection features, SCiON creates an Internet where end-users can shift traffic - and therefore electricity consumption- to low-emission network operators. Fascinatingly, such environmentally oriented routing creates a reward for providers that invest in energy-efficient equipment and low-emission electricity. ETH PhD student Seyedali Tabaeiaghdaei gives insight into recent research results into this field, obtained in collaboration with PhD Student Simon Scherrer.
