[802.3_NGBASET] EEE fast wake background



Dave and friends,

 

I intend to work (a little) on some aspects of EEE for 40GBASE-T and that will include fast wake. Because earlier BASE-T PHYs only include deep sleep for EEE, many of you will not be familiar with the background justification for fast wake. Please take a look at the presentation that I made for backplane Ethernet on the topic. The numbers there relate to backplane components, but the overall principles are the same.
