specification developed by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba Corp which allows more
advanced power management features through the operating system to the
hardware interfaces.
Remote Wake-up (RWU)

packets, it alerts the system, which then comes to a full power state and stands
ready for maintenance or other tasks.
