A manager computer for the sleeping computer’s subnet responds to the first connection attempt and wakes up the sleeping computer, which then CONTACTS the NETWORK switch. After the computer is awake and the network switch is updated, subsequent connection attempts will successfully connect to the DESTINATION computer. Most TCP connections automatically retry and you will not see that the first connection (and possibly additional connections) time out. For Remote Desktop connections, however, you are more likely to see an initial failed connection and must manually retry. For computers that must come out of hibernation, you will probably experience a longer delay than for computers that are in other sleep STATES.
