Methods, systems, articles of manufacture and apparatus to reduce temperature of a networked device

An apparatus to reduce a temperature of a device, the apparatus comprising:

• packet prohibiting circuitry to determine a baseline device temperature by preventing packet communications from occurring on the device for a dwell period;
• packet initiating circuitry to, in response to expiration of the dwell period, invoke packet bandwidth activity on the device, the packet initiating circuitry to start a bandwidth activity timer;
• temperature information retrieving circuitry to:
• perform at least one temperature measurement during the bandwidth activity timer;
• and
• in response to expiration of the bandwidth activity timer, calculate a temperature increase rate associated with the device;
• window information retrieving circuitry to, in response to a temperature condition associated with the device satisfying a thermal threshold, retrieve a current value of a network receive capacity parameter;
• and
• window adjusting circuitry to reduce the temperature of the device by generating a modified network receive capacity parameter, the modified network receive capacity parameter based on a ratio of the current value of the network receive capacity parameter and throughput adjustment parameter values determined from the temperature increase rate.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause processor circuitry to:

• determine a baseline device temperature by preventing packet communications from occurring on a device for a dwell period;
