ITU G.9970
Encyclopedia
G.9970 is a Recommendation developed by ITU-T
that describes the generic transport architecture for home network
s and their interfaces to a provider's access network.
G.9970 was developed by Study Group 15, Question1. G.9970 received Consent on December 12, 2008 and was Approved on January 13, 2009.
G.9970 (G.hnta) and G.9960 (G.hn
) are two ITU-T Recommendations that address home networking in a complementary manner. While G.9970 addresses Layer 3 (Network Layer
) of the home network architecture, G.9960 addresses Layers 1 (Physical Layer
) and 2 (Data Link Layer
).
