Abstract
A controller of a data switch determines a power budget based upon respective capacities of power supplies coupled thereto. Operating power is allocated to requesting network devices in accordance with the power budget. The power budget can be re-determined periodically, in response to changes in operating temperature, or in accord with other factors and the power allocation adjusted accordingly. Operating power provision to network devices can be managed so as to maintain a greatest allowable level of system operation while protecting power supplies against thermally-related or overload damage.
