Re: [802SEC] Draft IEEE P802.3az Energy-efficient Ethernet press release

[Geoff Thompson <thompson@ieee.org>]

Actually, I don't like either.

Low-Power is relative
When we did 10BASE-T it was low power relative to FOIRL.
The link-beat scheme used in 10BASE-T was specifically chosen to have 
lower power usage than the scheme in FOIRL.

I would rather say something like:   "....World's First Standard for 
Ethernet specifically directed at power reduction."
