    Abstract: A device includes one or more ports, one or more bandwidth shapers, and processing logic. The one or more ports are to connect to a communication network. A given bandwidth shaper is to: (i) when disabled, output traffic at an available full data rate, and (ii) when enabled, output the traffic at a specified shaper data rate lower than the available full data rate. The processing logic is to receive or generate notifications, which are indicative of average power that is consumed by the network device while outputting traffic through the one or more bandwidth shapers via the one or more ports, and based on at least some of the notifications, toggle at least one of the one or more bandwidth shapers between being enabled and disabled, to retain the average power consumed below a specified power budget.

    Abstract: A network device, a network interface controller, and a switch are provided. In one example, a shared buffer includes a plurality of cells of memory, one or more ports read data from the shared buffer and write data to the shared buffer, and a controller circuit selectively enables and disables cells of memory of the shared buffer based on an amount of data stored in the shared buffer. Power consumption of the shared buffer is in proportion to a number of enabled cells of memory.
