Abstract
We describe VHN, the versatile home network, an EIA standard (EIA/CEA-851) developed with broad industry input, that.defines a home intranet. VHN ties together other home LAN, such as Ethernet or IEEE 802.11a, allowing any device on a home network to communicate with any other device. The VHN architecture implements a whole-home backbone, using IEEE 1394b, a long distance version of IEEE 1394a (sometimes known as FireWireTM or i.LINKTM). Local area networks, such as Ethernet or IEEE 1394a, connect to the backbone in each room, and IP is used to tie everything together
