Metasphere Labs Inc. Unveils Decentralized Identity System At Consensus 2024 and Announces Carbon Aware Routing Protocol
Why Carbon Aware Routing is Needed: The Internet is a significant contributor to global carbon emissions due to the energy consumed by data centers and network infrastructure. This trend will only increase exponentially with compute-intensive AI and Metaverse applications. Current routing protocols optimize for speed and cost, often disregarding the environmental impact. By implementing a carbon aware routing protocol, ISPs can make more environmentally conscious decisions, significantly reducing the Internet's carbon footprint. This innovative protocol will also provide real-time analytics of Internet routing, enabling ISPs to monitor and offset their emissions. The integration of these analytics will allow for greater transparency and accountability in managing carbon emissions across the digital landscape. Metasphere aims to unveil this protocol at Mobile World Congress Americas and plans to submit it to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) within the same timeframe.
