摘要： Embodiments of the present disclosure provide energy efficient data transmission operations which may be configured to selectively energize some of a plurality of links within a given data transmission channel based at least in part on a detected amount of traffic or a predicted amount of traffic while ensuring that data is delivered in an orderly and energy-efficient manner.

摘要： A network of devices can be stabilized by administering an energy-aware topology that corresponds to a desired state derived in part from one or more sustainability metrics. Devices suitable for stabilization can include a processor, a memory, a plurality of elements, a communication port coupled with one or more neighboring devices, and an energy-aware topology logic. The energy-aware topology logic can monitor incoming traffic from one or more neighboring devices, receive current state data associated with the plurality of elements, and receive update data from the one or more neighboring devices via a sustainability-related augmented IGP. Also, the energy-aware topology logic can generate a desired state for the device based on at least the received current state data and update data. One or more of the plurality of elements may be modified in response to the generated desired state, wherein the modification involves changing one or more sustainability-related capabilities.
