Abstract
The Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) publishes a home networking specification that is the deployed standard for the majority of service providers in North America. It is also being adopted in other parts of the world. MoCA enables highly robust, secure, and low-latency communication at net throughputs of over 400 Mb/s on the home coaxial cable. Its primary use is for the distribution of premium content video, including applications such as multiroom DVR. This paper presents a historical, market, and technical overview of MoCA.
