Abstract
In one implementation, a device queries an ontology that represents entities in a computer network and their relationships for a particular topology in the computer network. The device computes a mathematical system that represents traffic in the particular topology, based on traffic for only a portion of the particular topology. The device uses the mathematical system to compute traffic in the particular topology for a potential change to the particular topology expected to reduce energy consumption by the computer network. The device causes, based in part on the traffic computed using the mathematical system, the potential change to be made to the computer network.
