As illustrated in Figure 7.7, the peer-to-peer mode is ideal for local area net-
works since the LAN architecture must enable any terminal (typically PC) to
exchange data with any other LAN terminal. HomePlug 1.0 and Turbo use this
mode.
Centralized Mode
As we have seen in Chapter 3, HomePlug AV uses the centralized mode, which is a
combination of the master-slave and peer-to-peer modes.
