Abstract(in English) The power consumption of networks has been increasing as the service over the Internet becomes pop- ular, and has become a serious problem. Many methods to reduce the power consumption by shutting down unnecessary network devices have been proposed. However, these methods do not consider the fault tolerance, and shutting down some network devices may degrade the performance of the network in case of failures. In this paper, we propose a method to control the network considering multiple objectives; performance, power consumption and fault tolerance. This method calculates the Pareto front considering the multiple objectives. Then it selects one of the solution on the Pareto front. In addition, we also propose a method to calculate the Pareto front following the environmental changes. This method calculates the Pareto front by evolving the solutions saved in the archive. By saving the solutions that may become the Pareto optimal solution in the archive, this approach can obtain the Pareto front immediately. In this paper, we evaluate the method by simulation. The results show that the method can reduce power consumption of the network by 53% following the environmental change.
