Abstract
A first network device may create a port group for a plurality of links directly connected to a second network device, and may select the first network device as a controller network device and the second network device as a worker network device. The first network device may rank the plurality of links of the port group to generate a list of ranked links, and may select, from the list of ranked links, a highest ranked link as a control channel. The first network device may power off one or more of the plurality of links, except the control channel, based on one of a configuration, a policy, or a traffic prediction, and may identify a termination of a time period associated with powering off the one or more of the plurality of links. The first network device may power on the one or more of the plurality of links based on the termination of the time period.
