Abstract

See full text

The disclosed apparatus may include a set of router components that are consuming electrical power in connection with a router that facilitates network traffic within a network. The apparatus may also include a power-optimization unit communicatively coupled to the set of router components. The power-optimization unit may detect at least one router component included in the set of router components that is not currently being used by the router to facilitate the network traffic within the network. In response to detecting the router component that is not currently being used by the router, the power-optimization unit may shut off the router component such that the router component no longer consumes electrical power in connection with the router. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
