Energy‐EfficientEthernet(EEE)isasetofenhancementstothetwisted‐pair

andbackplaneEthernetfamilyofcomputernetworkingstandardsthatallow

forlesspowerconsumptionduringperiodsoflowdataactivity.Theintention

wastoreducepowerconsumptionby50%ormore,whileretainingfull

compatibilitywithexistingequipment.TheInstituteofElectricalandElectronicsEngineers(IEEE),through

theIEEE802.3aztaskforcedevelopedthestandard.EEEisapowersavingoptionthatreducesthepower

usagewhenthereislowornotrafficutilization.EEEworksbypoweringdowncircuitswhenthereisno

traffic. 



Whenaportispowereddownforsavingpower,theoutgoingtrafficisstoredinabufferuntiltheportis

poweredupagain.Usingthistechnique,morepowercanbesavedifthetrafficcanbebufferedupuntila

largeburstoftrafficcanbetransmitted.Keepinmind,thatbufferingtrafficwilladdsomelatencyinthe

traffic.
