28、th the technology or by additional explanation from the technology provider. 9.1 Network Size Discussion 9.1.1 Description The network size dictates 2 separate criteria: 1) The number of simultaneously active nodes that can reside on any given system and 2) The total number of addressable nodes (act
29、ive or inactive) on any given system. This section should discuss the full capabilities of the system as it relates to the items described above. 9.1.2 Discussion 9.1.2.1 Minimum of 128 Networked Nodes - Theoretical 1) Describe the node limitations of actively communicating nodes 2) Describe the nod
30、e limitations of all addressable nodes on the system. 9.2 Coexistence With Neighboring Networks 9.2.1 Description Coexistence with neighboring networks is the ability of plurality of PLT systems of the same type to operate over the same powerline grid. The powerline medium is constantly being shared
31、 by multiple homes, dwelling units, and apartments or even by various segments within a single home. The technologys ability to enable this concurrent operation should be discussed. 9.2.2 Discussion 9.2.2.1 Up to 64 Logical Networks Describe how up to 64 networking segments (that can each “see” each
32、 other on the powerline) can provide virtual or logical isolation between the various segments. 9.2.2.2 Sharing a Common Transformer Between a Large Number of Dwelling Units - Theoretical Describe how coexistence is achieved between plurality of systems installed in apartments or multiple dwelling u

Define details such as the resolution of allocation blocks, the potential number of allowed nodes requesting bandwidth, how priorities are mana
36、ged, etc. 9.3.2.2 Admission Control Admission control refers to the ability to reject a nodes request for a QoS feature that cannot be granted by the system. What is the admission control mechanism? How does prioritization factor into this? 9.3.2.3 Fairness Fairness refers to the ability to gain acc
37、ess to the medium in a fair manner In order to support QoS, this mechanism must be deterministic. Describe how determinism is accomplished and details regarding the fairness mechanism. 9.4 Privacy Discussion 9.4.1 Description As multiple systems can be seen on a powerline network, a mechanism to cre

39、 2) Describe the process for how the encryption key is seeded and maintained. 3) Describe how system authentication is performed. 9.4.2.3 Allow For New Encryption Algorithms Describe how the system can accommodate future encryption algorithms for expandability. 9.5 Network Setup 9.5.1 Description Th
40、is section is used to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a system in terms of its initial installation and setup time as well as ongoing management issues relating to networking functionality and continued operation. 9.5.2 Discussion 9.5.2.1 Graceful Node Entry and Exit on Existing Network Des
41、cribe how the system reliably joins an already existing network without requiring significant or skilled interaction from the user and without requiring the use of a PC or PC equivalent device to perform the configuration. This is to be accomplished when the existing network is either active or inac
42、tive. Also describe how the system reliably Copyright Consumer Electronics Association Provided by IHS under license with CEA Licensee=IHS Employees/1111111001, User=Wing, Bernie Not for Resale, 03/30/2007 20:36:53 MDTNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS -,-,- CEA-2002 39
