Until very recently, energy efficiency has received little attention in many wired
communications environments. For example, in most current Ethernet standards the …

Ethernet is the dominant wireline communications technology for LANs with over 1 billion
interfaces installed in the US and over 3 billion worldwide. In 2006 the IEEE 802.3 Working …

Most Ethernet interfaces available for deployment in switches and hosts today can operate
in a variety of different low power modes. However, currently these modes have very limited …

Recent studies of network traffic utilization on campus networks have shown that data
networks remain heavily under-utilized. Yet currently there is little attempt to save energy on …

Distributed multimedia applications require performance guarantees from the underlying
network subsystem. Ethernet has been the dominant local area network architecture in the …

In September 2010, the Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 az) standard was officially
approved. This new standard introduces a low power mode for the most common Ethernet …

The proposed Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard reduces energy consumption by
