Abstract
A network interface device operates in a normal operating mode in which the network interface device continually receives transmission symbols via a communication link. The network interface device determines that the network interface device is to transition to a low power mode, and in response transitions receiver circuitry to the low power mode. During a transition time period corresponding to determining that that the network interface device is to transition to the low power mode, the network interface device ignores signals received via the communication link.
