The Tolly Common Test Plan for LAN Switch Power consumption was first issued in 2008.

The test plan has been used by The Tolly Group to benchmark the power consumption of edge, data center and core switches from Cisco, Extreme, Foundry/Brocade, Nortel, Zyxel and others.

This "best practices" guide provides background on issues related to test tools required for power measurement.

The guide provides detailed
instructions for benchmarking the power consumption of switches in various states of operation.
