As the number of broadband residential connections is growing very rapidly around the globe, more and more people are looking for a simple and easy way to connect their different home devices to the broadband connection. Home networks are a simple evolution of the office LAN networks that answer the need for residential distribution of broadband services. Unlike the office, home networks have to be at a very low cost and easy to install and maintain. This paper presents the Home Network architectural model defined in the European IST ePerSpace project1 based on a centralized Residential Gateway (RG) connecting and coordinating different network technologies to support home data services. Emphasis is given to testing and evaluating simple but effective mechanisms to support different flows in the home, each with given priorities and Quality of Service (QoS) characteristics. Performance results derived in the measurement campaign are shown and discussed. The prioritization mechanism in the RG results simple to be implemented and effective in achieving the desired flow differentiation and QoS.

Abstract
As the number of broadband residential connections is growing very rapidly around the globe, more and more people are looking for a simple and easy way to connect their different home devices to the broadband connection. Home networks are a simple evolution of the office LAN networks that answer the need for residential distribution of broadband services. Unlike the office, home networks have to be at a very low cost and easy to install and maintain. This paper presents the Home Network architectural model defined in the European IST ePerSpace project1 based on a centralized Residential Gateway (RG) connecting and coordinating different network technologies to support home data services. Emphasis is given to testing and evaluating simple but effective mechanisms to support different flows in the home, each with given priorities and Quality of Service (QoS) characteristics. Performance results derived in the measurement campaign are shown and discussed. The prioritization mechanism in the RG results simple to be implemented and effective in achieving the desired flow differentiation and QoS.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
