Original Abstract Submitted
Condition-based, selective workload reduction through at least one port of a network device is provided. The process includes determining, by a network device of a computing environment, that the network device has a defined condition, and obtaining, by the network device, classifications of applications using the network device, where the classifications include multiple different application classifications. Further, the process includes reducing, by the network device, workload through at least one port of the network device based on determining that the network device has the defined condition. The reducing includes reducing workload through the at least one port of the network device of an application of a particular application classification of the multiple different application classifications, without reducing workload through a selected port of the network device of another application of a different application classification of the multiple different application classifications.
