1. A computer-implemented method for enhancing processing within a computing environment, the computer-implemented method comprising:
determining, by a network device of the computing environment, that the network device has a defined condition;
based on determining that the network device has the defined condition, determining, by the network device for a plurality of ports of the network device, respective port priorities based on other devices connected to the plurality of ports and based, at least in part, on the defined condition;
obtaining, by the network device, classifications of applications using the network device, the classifications including multiple different application classifications; and
reducing, by the network device, combined workload through at least one port of the plurality of ports of the network device based on determining that the network device has the defined condition and based on the determined port priorities based on the defined condition and the determined classifications of applications using the network device, the reducing combined workflow through the at least one port including 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 plurality of ports of the network device of another application of a different application classification of the multiple different application classifications.
