摘要: A power line based communication system includes a termination module, plurality of gateways, and nodes. The module manages data for local area networks within the system. gateways is arranged in sets wherein each set constitutes network. Each nodes operably coupled to via high-speed path. In addition, node i.e., network, lines transformer. receives its respective LAN from provides Virtual are enabled between gateways.
