Abstract

A method and system for optimizing the design of a network controller (100) in a home phone line network is described. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention provide a system for networking computers in a home phone line network. The system includes a first controller (100) that includes a physical layer (PHY) (110) configured to be coupled to a phone line, and a media access control (MAC) (108) configured to be coupled to the PHY (110). The MAC (108) is separated from the PHY (110) by a partition. The partition enables the MAC (108) to be implemented as a separate circuit from the PHY (110) such that the MAC (108) can be modified during and after the design process while leaving the PHY (110) intact.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to computer networks, and more particularly to methods and systems for optimizing network controller design for use on home telephone line networks. Background technique [0002] Home networks are becoming more common and desirable for connecting computers within the home. One form of home networking is a home phone line network, which uses the existing phone lines in the home to connect computers. The Home Phone Line Networking Alliance (HPNA) has published specifications that standardize the behavior of home phone line networking. In this home telephone line network, the telephone lines are used to carry digital data packets between computers. [0003] In such a network, the HPNA controller receives a signal containing data packets via a telephone jack through a telephone line. The HPNA controller then processes this packet. The HPNA controller includes the physical layer (PHY) and media access control (MAC). The PHY trans...
