3. introduction
G.hn (also known as G.9960) is a new standard developed by ITU-T.
A unified next generation wired networking technology, operating over all types of in-home wiring (phone line, power line and coaxial cable).
Speeds 2x to 5x time faster than todays wired technologies. and bit rates up to 1 Gb/s. (with its default setting G.hn can provide a line data rate over coaxial cable of up to Mbps (with actual Ethernet throughput at Mbps), and includes optimizations that can support line data rates up to 1.02 Gbit/s [1])
G.hn is intended for small/home offices and public places such as multiple dwelling units, hotels, and conference rooms.

6. G.HN NETWORK ARCHITECTURE
NOTE: G.hn building home networks
by easily bridging to existing technologies
The G.hn architecture defines a “domain” as a portion of a G.hn home network where all the devices on a domain can communicate directly with each other at the physical layer. A complete G.hn network is made up of one or more domains, interconnected by IDB’s
The most common form of bridging is specified in IEEE 802.1D. When an 802.1D‐compliant bridge receives an Ethernet frame from one domain, it will inspect the frame’s destination address in its MAC header and then forward the frame to the right destination domain

7. Coexistence with Existing Technologies
G.hn networks will need to operate in environments where current wireline technologies are already deployed
Coexistence with existing powerline networks will be achieved using G.cx protocol
Coexistence with existing coaxial RF technologies will be achieved using frequency agility.
Coexistence with DSL will be provieded in a futrue HomeGrid Forum white paper.
G.hn allows vendors to implement “dual mode” devices that interoperate with G.hn and with legacy networks.

8. interoperability
interoperation
G.hn project’s capable of operating over multiple types of home wiring, including telephone wiring, coaxial cable, powerline wiring, and combinations of these.
interoperability between G.hn and existing home networking technologies rely on the ability to bridge packets between heterogeneous networks. Bridges connect to two or more domains or disparate network segments, and enable sending data
frames back and forth between them.
Different networks to be bridged support a common frame format. G.hn and all existing home networking technologies support Ethernet (802.3) as the common frame format for data transmission.

9. Interoperability with power line wiring
Dual‐mode transceivers implementing G.cx protocol will be able to communicate with G.hn‐only devices and other devices implementing the protocol, all on the same powerline medium.
Dual-mode transceivers will operate during both periods in their respective modes, and could act as a bridge between both networks.
If a dual‐mode device is configured to operate as a Master for both the G.hn network and the other domain, this device can coordinate transmissions in both networks.

10. Interoperability with Coax Wiring in RF Band
Simultaneous FDM Mode with Bridging
In this mode, a device would be capable of simultaneously operating as a G.hn and a MoCA transceiver in different RF channels, and bridge between them.
MoCA fallback mode
Mixed MoCA and G.hn operation on the same RF channel
802.1D bridging can be used for bridging Ethernet frames between G.hn and any of the existing wired (and wireless) home networking technologies, allowing users to have a single home network composed of multiple heterogeneous segments.
