Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for reducing the electricity consumption of an Ethernet interface involving switching to a low power mode when no activity is detected on the physical layer thereof for a first predetermined duration (T_L1_INACTIVE). The method is characterized in that the interface also switches to a low power mode when no activity is detected on the MAC layer thereof for a second predetermined duration (T_L2L).
