1. An apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver to transmit and receive data between an upstream device and the apparatus;
service latency reporting logic coupled to the transceiver to determine a latency tolerance value of the apparatus and generate latency tolerance reporting data to report the latency tolerance value to the upstream device, wherein the latency tolerance value comprises a time value of latency corresponding to an activity state of the apparatus and the latency tolerance reporting data identifies the time value;
wherein the latency tolerance value for an idle activity state is greater than the latency tolerance value for an active activity state.

Abstract
An apparatus is provided that includes a transceiver to transmit and receive data between an upstream device and the apparatus, and further includes service latency reporting logic coupled to the transceiver to provide a service latency tolerance value of the apparatus to the upstream device, the service latency tolerance value corresponding to an activity state of the apparatus. The service latency tolerance value for an idle activity state can be greater than the service latency tolerance value for an active activity state.
