In recent years, due to the continuous rise and popularization of new internet services, intelligent terminals, video and other large-flow services, the demand of users for internet bandwidth increases year by year, resulting in the continuous increase of flow through gateway equipment. Meanwhile, as energy costs continue to increase, the cost of operators is also increasing. The need for solutions to increase energy efficiency without affecting the quality of service is compelling to increase for operators. Reducing power consumption is a direct increase in profit for the operator.
The most direct way to reduce power consumption is to set an idle gateway device as an energy-saving mode, and in the prior art, the gateway device is often set as the energy-saving mode when there is no load at all, so as to reduce power consumption, and other gateway devices loaded with a part of the maximum flow rate that can be loaded by the gateway device need to continue to operate. The control method and the control device of the gateway device in the prior art can only process the gateway device which is not in charge at all, and can not effectively control the working states of other gateway devices which have part of the loadable flow of the gateway device.
