Abstract
A customer premises network includes a plurality of terminal adapters, which are interconnected by a double daisy chained bus, preferably an optical fiber bus. One bus is used in each data transmission, i.e., one bus for downstream transmission of data and the other bus for upstream transmission of data. Interconnecting the terminal adapters to form a daisy chain means that the transmitted data is regenerated at each terminal adapter. The customer premises network is preferably a home network or a small company network. It may also interface an access network via a network interface.
