Babu R. Dawadi, Danda B. Rawat, Shashidhar Joshi, Daya Sagar Baral · 2019 · Applied System Innovation

Summary. This paper examines how software-defined networking with IPv6 can deliver affordable broadband to rural communities in Nepal. The authors demonstrate that transitioning from legacy networks to software-defined IPv6 networks reduces energy consumption by 31.50% on switches and 55.44% on links, lowering operational costs for service providers. These savings enable more affordable broadband services for rural customers while addressing deployment challenges around technology choice, policy, skilled labor, and costs.
