Abstract
Embodiments are directed to saving power consumption in packet processing devices. A method for controlling power consumption of a packet processing device includes determining a power-save link utilization based upon one or more power-save enabled links of the packet processing device, determining an aggregate minimum processing bandwidth for the packet processing device based at least upon the determined power-save link utilization, and adjusting a processing capacity of the packet processing device based upon the determined aggregate minimum processing bandwidth, wherein the power consumption is changed by the adjusting. System and computer program product embodiments are also disclosed.
