2.1.12.1 Horizontal vs. Vertical Communications
Unlike traditional coax networking (TV, satellite, IPTV, etc.) MoCA devices do not
need to receive data from a single source. It is “outlet-to-outlet”. Each MoCA network
uses a Network Controller (NC) to manage the network’s communications, but any
ECB on the network is capable of acting as the NC. By default, the NC is chosen by
negotiation between all ECBs on the network, based on factors such as signal
strength.
“Outlet-to-outlet” communications are also known as “splitter jumping”. Traditional
cable networking commonly utilized splitters to split a single incoming signal into two
outgoing signals. With MoCA, communications between devices connected to each
splitter output are possible. For this reason, MoCA communications can be
considered “horizontal”, as opposed to traditional “vertical” cable communications.
