In this paper, we validate the energy efficiency improvements in core networks obtained through mixed integer linear programming (MILP) optimization models as part of the GreenMeter study carried out by the GreenTouch consortium by developing closed form expressions and bounds for the power consumption of core networks. We consider nonbypass, bypass, mixed line rates, and physical topology optimization energy efficiency schemes. In addition to validating the optimization model results by setting bounds on the power consumption, these bounds can predict network performance at operating conditions highly complex for the MILP models. The derivation of a single bound that includes all the measures proved intractable and therefore each measure is evaluated separately.
