Abstract:
Technologies for local network power management include multiple computing devices in communication over a network. Each computing device may advertise an active-to-network-power-down state in response to determining to trigger a network power down (NPD) state and then determine whether any peer device of the local network rejected or aborted the request. If not, the computing device advertises the NPD state and then determines whether any peer device rejected the request. If not, the computing device enters the NPD state. In the NPD state, the computing device may receive a network power management packet from a peer device. If the network power management packet is a state advertisement, the computing device may update a data table based on the advertised state of the peer device. If the network power management packet is a command, the computing device may wake and return to the active state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
