Abstract
Technologies for switch link and ply management for variable oversubscription ratios include powering up and down links of one or more network plys according to bandwidth demand, desired oversubscription ratio and/or other parameters. Telemetry data representing one or more network traffic metrics of one or more switch plies is monitored to determine respective power states of the plurality of links associated with the one or more switch plies as a function of a desired oversubscription ratio calculated based on the telemetry data. The respective power state of the plurality of links is set accordingly.
Claims17
A compute device for switch link and ply management for variable oversubscription ratios, the computing device comprising:
- a switch manager to monitor telemetry data representing one or more network traffic metrics of one or more switch plies;
- a power manager to determine a respective power state of a plurality of links associated with the one or more switch plies as one of a first power state, a second power state, or a third power state as a function of a desired oversubscription ratio calculated based on the telemetry data, the first power state represents a first sleep state, the second power state represents a second sleep state with a lower latency exit than the first sleep state of the first power state, the third power state represents a ready to use state;
- and
- wherein the switch manager is to set the respective power state of the plurality of links in accordance with the power manager.
One or more non-transitory, computer-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, in response to being executed, cause a computing device to:
- monitor telemetry data representing one or more network traffic metrics of one or more switch plies;
- determine a respective power state of a plurality of links associated with the one or more switch plies as one of a first power state, a second power state, or a third power state as a function of a desired oversubscription ratio calculated based on the telemetry data, the first power state represents a first sleep state, the second power state represents a second sleep state with a lower latency exit than the first sleep state of the first power state, the third power state represents a ready to use state;
- and
- set the respective power state of the plurality of links.
A method for switch link and ply management for variable oversubscription ratios, the method comprising:
- monitoring, by a compute device, telemetry data representing one or more network traffic metrics of one or more switch plies;
- determining, by the compute device, a respective power state of a plurality of links associated with the one or more switch plies as one of a first power state, a second power state, or a third power state as a function of a desired oversubscription ratio calculated based on the telemetry data, the first power state represents a first sleep state, the second power state represents a second sleep state with a lower latency exit than the first sleep state of the first power state, the third power state represents a ready to use state;
- and
- setting, by the compute device, the respective power state of the plurality of links.
