POWER EFFICIENT NETWORK WITH NETWORK CONTROLLER

摘要

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for managing power consumption in a network of network devices is disclosed. The computer-readable medium stores instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform certain operations. The operations include monitoring network data traffic, establishing a network power management policy based on the monitored data traffic, and enforcing the network power policy. The enforcing is carried out by centrally managing a powered state of a portion of the network based on power consumption criteria.
