Abstract

An information handling system builds a performance model for a network based on key performance indicators, and evaluates performance of applications using the key performance indicators according to useability metrics. The system predicts network bandwidth requirement based on the performance model for the network and the performance of the applications, adjusts power consumption of the network based on the predicted network bandwidth requirement, and reallocates power saved from the adjusting of the power consumption of the network to a component of the information handling system.

First claim

building, by a processor, a performance model for a network based on key performance indicators; evaluating performance of applications using the key performance indicators according to useability metrics; predicting network bandwidth requirement based on the performance model for the network and the performance of the applications; controlling network speed based on the predicted network bandwidth requirement; and reallocating power saved from the controlling of the network speed to a component of an information handling system.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the controlling of the network speed is capped according to a quality of service threshold.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising adjusting power consumption based on the predicted network bandwidth requirement.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the controlling of the network speed includes controlling network speed of a communication device.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising tracking the key performance indicators.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising evaluating user preferences and system conditions of the information handling system.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the evaluating of the performance of the applications is further based on user intent.
