ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a synchronization command to synchronize time information among each component of a set of components in a communication path. The method includes generating a power state message. The method includes transmitting the power state message, by the first component, to the remaining components in the communication path. The power state message is configured to reduce the power consumption of the remaining components of the set of components from a first power amount to a second power amount for a time period and the time period is associated with the synchronized time information.
