Abstract: Devices, networks, systems, methods, and processes for determining a dynamic bias associated with a network device are described herein. A communication network may include multiple network devices and multiple links between the network devices. The communication network may further include a controller that monitors the communication network to determine dynamic changes in a network topology of the communication network. The controller determines the dynamic bias associated with the network device based on the dynamic changes. The controller generates and transmits a control signal based on the dynamic bias. The network device receives the control signal and switches an operation state of the network device, or an operation state of the links connected to the network device, based on the control signal. The controller can thereby achieve reduction in power consumption of the communication network by switching off the network device without affecting reliability and availability of the communication network.
