Abstract

See full text

Aspects of a method and system for near continuous data rate limit adjustment via a plurality of link variables in an energy efficient network. In this regard, power consumption of a network device may be controlled by enabling and/or disabling one or more components in the network device based on an adjustment of a plurality of data rate variables that control a data rate limit at which the network device may communicate. Exemplary data rate variables may comprise a number of active channels of a network link over which the network device communicates, a symbol rate on an Ethernet link over which said network device communicates, an inter-frame gap time on an Ethernet link over which said network device communicates, a signal constellation utilized for representing signals on an Ethernet link over which said network device communicates.
