Which standard supports home networking using existing phone lines as the network media?

A. HPLA

B. HomePNA

C. X10

D. DOCSIS

Solution

Answer B is the correct answer. The standard adopted for using phone lines for networking is called Home Phone Network Alliance (HomePNA). The HPLA and X10 protocols are used on the existing home power wiring; therefore, answers A and C are incorrect. DOCSIS is the cable modem standard, so answer D is incorrect.
