This read-only value, in microseconds, reports the receive wake time that the local system is requesting the remote system honor for EEE, expressing what the local device needs before it can process incoming data after waking from the low-power state. An administrator uses this to understand the local device's own EEE wake-time requirement as part of diagnosing link-level EEE negotiation. For example, comparing this requested value against what the remote side actually resolves to can reveal whether the local device's requirement is being met.
