Power management techniques for a network device providing services to other network devices. In one embodiment, a first device (402) communicates requests for access to and release of a resource (such as a media serving service) hosted by a second device (400). Power management functionality (408) in the second device selectively controls power to the resource based, at least in part, on such requests. For example, a resource may be placed in an inactive state following receipt of a request for release of the resource. Access to the resource may be provided through a network interface (414,420,426) that is separately activated or deactivated by the power management functionality. In further embodiments, information relating to the state of the resource and/or network interface is provided by a proxy device (404). |
