Abstract
In one embodiment, a sleep proxy device identifies one or more services offered by a first node in the network. The sleep proxy device announces the one or more identified services to a second node in the network on behalf of the first node. The sleep proxy device intercepts an attempt by the second node to use the one or more services offered by the first node. The sleep proxy device causes the first node to switch from a low power state to an awake state, based on the intercepted attempt.
