    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: In some implementations, a border gateway protocol (BGP) network device may receive from an originator BGP network device via a first other BGP network device, a first message, wherein the first message includes first attribute data associated with a non-transitive attribute, wherein the first attribute data comprises a first metric data element that is associated with a metric data element format and that indicates a metric type, a metric value, and continuity information. The BGP may process the first message to determine first path information associated with a first path from the BGP network device to the originator BGP network device via the first other BGP network device.

    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 first network device may determine a power group associating a plurality of ports of the first network device with a processing component of the first network device, and may advertise the power group to a second network device. The first network device may utilize the power group with a path placement strategy to compute a path to the second network device, and may determine a traffic load associated with the first network device. The first network device may disable the plurality of ports and the processing component based on the path and the traffic load.

    Abstract: A first network device may generate a first protocol data unit (PDU) identifying a request to transition from a power on state to a power sleep state, and may provide the first PDU to a second network device. The first network device may receive a second PDU identifying a link of the second network device to transition from the power on state to the power sleep state, and may generate a third PDU identifying a link of the first network device to transition from the power on state to the power sleep state. The first network device may provide the third PDU to the second network device, and may transition the link of the first network device and the link of the second network device from the power on state to the power sleep state based on the second PDU and the third PDU.

    Abstract: A device may receive a traceroute request for a path between two edge devices of a network, and may generate a response indicating a bit cost and an energy efficiency identifier associated with the device. The device may provide the traceroute request to a plurality of network devices associated with a path between the two edge devices, and may receive a plurality of responses indicating respective bit costs and energy efficiency identifiers associated with the plurality of network devices. The device may generate a traceroute response that includes the response and the plurality of responses, and may provide the traceroute response to one of the two edge devices to indicate, to the one of the two edge devices, an energy efficiency associated with the path.
