1. An apparatus comprising:
- first logic to identify a transition for at least a portion of a downstream device from a first state to a second, different state, wherein the first and second states correspond to different levels relating to activity for at least a portion of the downstream device; and
second logic to transmit to an upstream device data corresponding to a service latency in response to the identified transition for one or more upstream devices to manage power based at least in part on the service latency.

Abstract
For one disclosed embodiment, a transition from a first state to a second, different state for at least a portion of a downstream device may be identified. The first and second states may correspond to different levels relating to activity for at least a portion of the downstream device. Data corresponding to a service latency may be transmitted to an upstream device in response to the identified transition for one or more upstream devices to manage power based at least in part on the service latency. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
