The data collection methods used during the research include: qualitative and quantitative of methods of data collection. The findings of the study show that OPS technologies are more effective in energy conservation than electronic systems. The study also found that OPS technologies have fewer limitations in use than electrical technologies. The performance of the routing arrangement was improved by network routing while the achievement of sensing functions was done by embedding fast-track systems within the networks layers.
The findings of the research process indicated that energy consumption problem in the ICT sector could be solved by means of OPS technologies. However, it is observed that there is a limitation in the capability of the system in the areas of core networking.
The research found that packet switching has the capacity to integrate natural IP support in areas of application on a number of the physical layer platforms.
