Information About EEE

EEE Overview

Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is an IEEE 802.3az standard that is designed to reduce power consumption
in Ethernet networks during idle periods.
EEE can be enabled on devices that support low power idle (LPI) mode. Such devices can save power by
entering LPI mode during periods of low utilization. In LPI mode, systems on both ends of the link can save
power by shutting down certain services. EEE provides the protocol needed to transition into and out of LPI
mode in a way that is transparent to upper layer protocols and applications.
