Abstract

Wake pattern management techniques are described. In one or more implementations, network traffic received by a network interface device of a computing device is monitored and a traffic pattern is recognized in the monitored network traffic. An application of the computing device is identified that corresponds to the recognized traffic pattern and responsive to this identification, at least a portion of the identified application is woken.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more computer-readable storage media comprising computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising;

monitoring network traffic received by a network interface device of a computing device;

recognizing a traffic pattern in the monitored network traffic;

identifying an application of the computing device that corresponds to the recognized traffic pattern; and

responsive to the identifying, waking at least a portion of the identified application.
