Abstract
A method includes obtaining (i) an operating-temperature profile of a hardware processing sub-unit (HPSU) of a network element as a function of time, and (ii) a dependence of an Equivalent Reliability Time (ERT) of the HPSU on operating temperature. The operating-temperature profile is weighted using the dependence of the ERT on operating temperature, to estimate an effective ERT of the HPSU. An operating condition of the HPSU in the network element is modified, depending on the effective ERT.
