Homeplug Protocol v1.0.1 (Homeplug)

It is a protocol used by transceivers in powerlines communication.

History

The plugin has been coded based on the INT51X1 datasheet (available here).

Protocol dependencies

• Ethernet: Typically, Homeplug uses Ethernet as its layer-2 protocol. The well known ethertype is 0x887B.
