ENERGY BASED NETWORK RESTRUCTURING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for energy based network restructuring comprising:
- retrieving a counter from a network device that is part of a network;
calculating an expected load for the network device;
wherein the expected load is based on a service agreement, a load history of a load on the network device, and the counter; and
restructuring the network by allocating a network resource to the network device limited to fulfill the expected load and to reduce an energy consumption of the network device.

Abstract
Energy based network restructuring can include retrieving a counter from a network device that is part of a network. Energy based network restructuring can also include calculating an expected load for the network device, wherein the expected load is based on a service agreement, a load history of a load on the network device, and the counter. Energy based network restructuring can include restructuring the network by allocating a network resource to the network device limited to fulfill the expected load and to reduce an energy consumption of the network device.
