1. A method comprising:

  • determining network traffic statistics for traffic flowing through a network device;

    providing the network device with traffic pattern information based on the network traffic statistics for traffic flowing through the network device, the traffic pattern information allowing for power usage management to be performed where the network device operates in a lower power mode when the traffic pattern information indicates a traffic pattern associated with lower usage; and

    dynamically providing the network device with updated traffic pattern information based on new network traffic statistics to allow the network device to adjust its power usage management.
