Magic Packet Technology White Paper ABSTRACT This white paper presents a description of the Magic Packet Technology and how it works. It alsocovers some issues involving the sleeping Green PC and how the Magic Packet Technology can be used to put a PC in a low-power state and still be manageable by a network system administrator. SCOPE The PC market has many forces influencing the designand implementation of PCs, operating systems, andperipheral devices. Most of the time, these forces arecomplementary, such as CPU performance and multi-media uses, or the desire for end users to have theirmachines backed up each night, and the InformationSystems (IS) department's desire to maintain data in-tegrity throughout the network. However, sometimes the forces working on the PCmarket seem to be in direct conflict. One such exampleis the desire of the IS department to be able to do endnode management (software updates, backups, etc.)and the US Government’s desire, through the EnergyStar Program, to put PCs to sleep soon after the PC isnot in use. If the PC falls asleep at 5:30 in the evening,how will the IS department manage it? If the user feelsit is more important to have his hard disk backed upthan save power, will he disable the power savings fea-ture of his PC? If so, this action will nullify the EnergyStar Program's intent to save power by PCs puttingthemselves to sleep when not in use. PROPOSAL...
