Reducing carbon footprint and providing power savings in session initiated protocol conferencing

摘要

A method includes determining a first subset of a plurality of links to be set to a first power state and a second subset of the plurality of links to be set to a second power state, different from the first power state, based on estimated data transmission. The method also includes instructing at least one network apparatus to set the first subset of the plurality of links to the first power state and to set the second subset of the plurality of links to the second power state different from the first power state.
