Energy Efficient Ethernet
EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is designed to save power by turning off network ports that are not
passing traffic. EEE includes a mechanism to awaken the port when it needs to send or receive
traffic. The transmitter sends LPI (low power idle) signals instead of the normal idle signals to indicate
that the EEE protocol is in effect. After a period of time called Ts (time to sleep), the transmitter
stops sending signals and the link is quiet. When the transmitter needs to send traffic, it begins
