1. A system comprising:
a power management component configured to manage power use in the system based on measurements associated with a signal path used for communication by the system via a communication port, wherein the managing comprises:
determining, based on the measurements, connectivity related information associated with connectivity of the system via the communication port;
applying, based on the connectivity related information, one or more power use reduction measures, wherein the one or more power use reduction measures comprise transitioning between different power related states; and
monitoring one or more conditions to determine when to stop, undo, or reverse at least one of the one or more power use reduction measures.
