Method and system for end-to-end management of energy efficient networking protocols
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- performing by one or more processors and/or circuits in a first network node;
determining a path between said first network node and a second network node;
generating a message for configuring one or more energy efficient networking (EEN) parameters within an intermediate network node along said determined path; and
communicating said generated message over said determined path to said intermediate network node, said generated message being used by said intermediate network node to configure an energy saving operation of said intermediate network node to accommodate an application running on one of said first network node and said second network node.

Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for end-to-end management of energy efficient networking protocols are provided. In this regard, a path between two network nodes may be determined and one or more messages may be generated. The one or more messages may be communicated to one or more network nodes along the determined path and may configure an EEN control policy and/or one or more (EEN) parameters in those network nodes. The one or more generated messages may comprise a distinct marking that may, upon detection by the network nodes along the determined path, trigger configuration of the EEN control policy and/or EEN parameters within the one or more network nodes. The one or more messages may be may be utilized to enable and disable EEN in one or more network nodes along the path.

10. A system, comprising:
one or more circuits for use in a network node, said one or more circuits being configured to; determine a path between a first network node and a second network node; generate a message for configuring one or more energy efficient networking (EEN) parameters within an intermediate network node along said determined network path; and communicate said generated message over said determined path to said intermediate network node, said generated message being used by said intermediate network node to configure an operation that controls energy savings in said intermediate network node to accommodate an application running on one of said first network node and said second network node and/or information exchanged between said first network node and said second network node. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method, comprising:
performing by one or more processors and/or circuits in an intermediate network node in a path between a first network node and a second network node, said path being formed by a plurality of tired network links; receiving a message for configuring one or more energy efficient networking parameters within said intermediate network node; and configuring an energy saving operation of said intermediate network node based on said received message, wherein said configuration of said energy saving operation of said intermediate network node accommodates an application running on one of said first network node and said second network node and/or information exchanged between said first network node and said second network node. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
