Concerning the high energy consumption, low acceptance rate and unbalanced load in virtual network embedding, a comprehensive energy-aware virtual network reconfiguration algorithm based on resource consolidation, namely HEAR algorithm, was proposed, which consists of two stages including node reconfiguration and link reconfiguration. In node reconfiguration stage, the virtual nodes on the physical node with least mapping virtual nodes and their relevant virtual links were moved to other physical nodes except congested nodes to improve acceptance rate and load balance, as well as suspending or closing the physical nodes with empty load to save energy. In link reconfiguration stage, the energy-aware method was adopted to select substrate link candidate set for migration, and Dijkstra algorithm was used to select the shortest available physical path to redeploy the virtual links on it. The simulation results show that, compared with energy-aware relocation heuristic algorithm, HEAR algorithm can reduce energy consumption by about 20%, and increase acceptance rate by about 10%, which means it can save energy consumption, improve the acceptance rate.
