System and method for dynamically swapping master and slave PHYs to allow asymmetry in energy efficient ethernet
Abstract:
A system and method for dynamically swapping master and slave physical layer devices (PHYs) in energy efficient Ethernet (EEE). A physical layer communication mechanism can be used to dynamically reassign the master/slave assignments to facilitate the asymmetric application of EEE to a link.
