Abstract
Fog Computing and IoT systems make use of end-user premises devices as local servers. Here, we are identifying the
scenarios for which running applications from NDCs are more energy-efficient than running the same applications from MDC.
With the complete survey and analysis of various energy consumption factors such as different flow-variants and time-variants
with respect to the Network Equipment we found two energy consumption use cases and respective results. Parameters such as
current Load, Pmax, Cmax, Incremental Energy etc evolved with respect to system structure and various data related
parameters leading to the conclusion that the NDC utilizes relatively reduced factor of energy comparative to the MDC. The
study reveals that NDC as a part of Fog makeweights the MDCs to accompany respective applications, especially in the
scenarios where IoT based applications are used where end users are the source data providers and can maximize the server
utilization.
