Standardization activities and technology competitors for the in-home networking
Mintae Hwang, Youngae Jeon, Jangkyung Kim · 2002
The in-home networking is critical for distribution of data to the various customer devices that will be attached-TVs, PCs, stereos, alarms, and so on. It must support multiple data types with high security, easy configuration, low cost, and negligible maintenance. This paper overviews the in-home networking with emphasis on its standardization activities of ATM Forum's RBB working group and DAVIC, and its implementation technology competitors such as the IEEE 1394 Firewire and the ATM Warren. Then we suggest the further important considerations of these technologies.
