1. An apparatus for managing a network of devices, the apparatus comprising:
- a service broker, configured to monitor traffic over the network, and configured to direct a first one or more of the devices in the network to operate in a tokenized data mode; and
a token processor, disposed within said first one or more of the devices in the network, configured to receive first tokenized data from said service broker and to decode said first tokenized data into first meaningful data, and configured to encode second meaningful data into second tokenized data for transmission to said service broker.

Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided for managing the power or bandwidth consumed by a network of interconnected devices. The apparatus includes a service broker and a token processor disposed within one or more of the devices. The service broker monitors traffic over the network, and directs the one or more of the devices in the network to operate in a tokenized data mode. The token processor receives first tokenized data from the service broker and decodes the first tokenized data into first meaningful data. The token processor also encodes second meaningful data into second tokenized data for transmission to the service broker.

13. A management mechanism, for controlling the power or bandwidth consumed by devices within a network, said management mechanism comprising:
-
a service broker, configured to monitor traffic over the network, and configured to direct a first one or more of the devices to operate in a tokenized data mode, said service broker comprising;
dynamic tokenization logic, configured to provide a tokenized definition, if required, to be transmitted along with a tokenized mode command to said first one or more of the devices; and
a token processor, disposed within said first one or more of the devices in the network, configured to receive first tokenized data from said service broker and to decode said first tokenized data into first meaningful data, and configured to encode second meaningful data into second tokenized data for transmission to said service broker. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method of optimizing power or bandwidth consumed by a network of devices, the method comprising:
-
monitoring traffic over the network;
directing a first one or more of the devices in the network to operate in a tokenized data mode; and
within the first one or more of the devices in the network, receiving first tokenized data and decoding the first tokenized data into first meaningful data, and encoding second meaningful data into second tokenized data for transmission. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
