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.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining, from a plurality of first devices in a first time zone, data associated with hot-prefixes requested at one or more first devices of the plurality of first devices during a first time interval. The hot-prefixes are associated with network addresses that are frequently requested during the first time interval. The method further includes predicting, based on the data associated with the hot-prefixes, prefixes that will become hot-prefixes during a second time interval in a second time zone to determine predicted hot-prefixes, and transmitting an indication of the predicted hot-prefixes to a plurality of second devices configured to provide networking services in the second time zone prior to a start of the second time interval in the second time zone.
