Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for managing the power or bandwidth consumed by a network of interconnected devices. The apparatus includes a service broker and a token processor disposed within one or more of the devices. The service broker monitors traffic over the network, and directs the one or more of the devices in the network to operate in a tokenized data mode. The token processor receives first tokenized data from the service broker and decodes the first tokenized data into first meaningful data. The token processor also encodes second meaningful data into second tokenized data for transmission to the service broker.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods managing the power profile of a network of interconnected devices. In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided for managing the power consumed by a network of devices. The apparatus includes power management logic that is disposed within a plurality of the devices in the network. The power management logic provides for network-aware power management of the network of devices. The power management logic has descriptor data and management data. The descriptor data identifies a power source for a corresponding device in the network. The management data identifies a function for remote execution by one or more other devices in the network.
