(EEE) function, cable length power saving, and link-up and link-down power saving:
• EEE. Combines the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) 802.3 MAC sublayer with the
100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, and 10GBASE-T physical layers to support operation in low
power idle (LPI) mode. When LPI mode is enabled, systems on both sides of the link can
