Abstract
A computing device may conduct a communication session. The communication session may be locally controlled by a main processor of the computing device. The main processor may be in a first power mode and may maintain an active state representation of the communication session. Packets of the communication session may pass through a network interface apparatus of the computing device, and a secondary processor in the network interface apparatus may examine at least some packets of the communication session to maintain a non-active state representation of the communication session. The main processor may transfer local control of the communication session to the secondary processor. The secondary processor may activate the non-active state representation and continue conducting the communication session using the activated state representation. The main processor may also transition from the first power mode to a second power mode that uses less power than the first power mode.
