Abstract
In an example embodiment, a technique for network based power management for power consuming devices associated with a network. A power control strategy is communicated to network elements coupled to the network. The power control strategy is enforced by the network elements and the network elements report power consumption. Each network element enforces the power strategy relative to the set of power consuming devices operatively associated with the network element. Groups of subtended network elements can manage the power policy in a cluster power management mode or in a collaborative cluster management mode.
