    Abstract: A network device sends, via a first port of the network device and to a server device, first traffic, wherein the server device provides a NFV service line card of the network device, and wherein the first traffic is at least one of first management plane traffic associated with the NFV service line card, first control plane traffic associated with the NFV service line card, or first data plane traffic associated with the NFV service line card. The network device receives, via a second port of the network device and from the server device, second traffic, wherein the second traffic is at least one of second management plane traffic associated with the NFV service line card, second control plane traffic associated with the NFV service line card, or second data plane traffic associated with the NFV service line card.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a network device may transmit, based on a time window, a request to disable a link for a candidate length of time. The network device may receive, based on the candidate length of time, an indication to disable the link for a length of time. The network device may power off one or more components associated with the link based on the indication to disable the link for the length of time. In some implementations, a network device may receive a request to disable a link for a candidate length of time. The network device may transmit, based on the candidate length of time and a time window, an indication to disable the link for a length of time. The network device may power off one or more components associated with the link based on the indication to disable the link for the length of time.

    Abstract: A first network device may create a port group for a plurality of links directly connected to a second network device, and may select the first network device as a controller network device and the second network device as a worker network device. The first network device may rank the plurality of links of the port group to generate a list of ranked links, and may select, from the list of ranked links, a highest ranked link as a control channel. The first network device may power off one or more of the plurality of links, except the control channel, based on one of a configuration, a policy, or a traffic prediction, and may identify a termination of a time period associated with powering off the one or more of the plurality of links. The first network device may power on the one or more of the plurality of links based on the termination of the time period.

    Abstract: A network device may determine a bandwidth utilization and a power consumption by the network device, and may receive a carbon emission value and an electricity cost associated with the network device. The network device may determine weights for the power consumption, the carbon emission value, and the electricity cost, and may calculate one or more of a unit power metric, a per link power metric, a per component power metric, or a per device power metric based on the bandwidth utilization, the power consumption, the carbon emission value, the electricity cost, and the weights. The network device may perform one or more actions based on the one or more of the unit power metric, the per link power metric, the per component power metric, or the per device power metric.

    Abstract: A first network device may provide a link discovery message to a second network device, and may identify a link based on the link discovery message. The first network device may provide, to the second network device, a first control channel message that identifies the link at the first network device, a current state of the link as a power on state, and a desired state of the link as a power sleep state, and may receive, from the second network device, a second control channel message that identifies the link at the second network device, the current state of the link as the power on state, and the desired state of the link as the power sleep state. The first network device may place the link in the power sleep state based on the first control channel message and the second control channel message.

    Abstract: A device may receive a lock request associated with using an embedded device of a containerized environment from a first instance of an application being executed in a first container of the containerized environment. The device may perform a lock operation associated with the embedded device to permit the first instance of the application to use the embedded device and to prevent a second instance of the application, executing in a second container of the containerized environment, from using the embedded device. The device may monitor use of the embedded device during an access operation of the first instance of the application to detect an unlock event associated with unlocking the embedded device. The device may perform an unlock operation based on detecting the unlock event to permit the second instance of the application to use the embedded device.
