Abstract :
The European effort in preparing a standard for home systems is currently concentrated in the ESPRIT project 2431. A broad consortium of partner companies are cooperating to achieve a common network architecture, with detailed specifications for transmission media, protocol and command language, and network management, so as to provide a basis for compatible products. Project 2431 is reviewed with reference to project objectives, requirements, architecture, applications, installations, and standardization approach
