ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for communicating with a network comprises a queue and logic. The queue has at least one entry stored therein. The at least one entry respectively points to at least one data packet. The logic is configured to read the at least one entry from the queue and to retrieve the at least one data packet based on the at least one entry. The logic is configured to transition to a sleep state based on a determination that a new entry for reading, by the logic, from the queue is unavailable for a specified amount of time.
