Abstract
The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) communication networks and G.hn networking standards used therewith. In some implementations, the system includes a domain master (DM) network device and one or more network devices. The DM network device is configured to receive control request messages from one or more network devices, establish a connection via a point-to-multipoint (P2MP) network coupling to the one or more network devices based on the received control request messages, and transmit control messages to one or more network devices via the connection. A network device is configured to receive the control messages from the DM network device, receive data from a backbone network coupled to the P2MP network coupling, and transmit the received data to a designated client device through the P2MP network coupling in accordance with a P2MP communication protocol using a resource allocation received in the control message.
