Claim 15:
16. A device comprising:
a processor;
a memory commutatively coupled to the processor;
a plurality of elements;
a communication port coupled with one or more neighboring devices; and
an energy-aware topology logic configured to:
collect topology data from one or more network devices, wherein each of the one or more network devices include a plurality of elements;
receive sustainability-related capabilities of one or more network devices;
generate a feature energy coefficient (FEC) for one or more of the plurality of elements;
