A network device may provide power-aware network proxy services to one or more resources internal to the network device and/or one or more other network devices that may transition to corresponding power saving states. The power saving states may comprise disabling, shutting down, and/or reducing power consumption. The power-aware network proxy service may comprise handling at least some of network communication on behalf of serviced internal resources and/or other network devices, and monitoring for conditions to transition the serviced internal resources and/or other network devices from the corresponding power saving states. The power-aware network proxy services may be provided via a network interface controller (NIC) in the network device. Determining when to transition serviced resources and/or other network devices from corresponding power saving states may be based on monitoring and/or processing of traffic handled on behalf of the serviced resources and/or other network devices during power-aware network proxy servicing.
