Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) combines the MAC with a family of PHYs that support
operation in a low power mode. It is defined by IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Task
Force. Lower power mode enables both the send and receive sides of the link to disable
some functionality for power savings when lightly loaded. Transition to low power mode
does not change the link status. Frames in transit are not dropped or corrupted in
transition to and from low power mode. Transition time is transparent to upper layer
protocols and applications.
