IEC 62514:2010

Multimedia gateway in home networks - Guidelines

IEC 62514:2010 describes the general guidelines for typical applications of the home multimedia gateway in home networks supporting IP networking. It specifies recommended functions and services to be supported by the home multimedia gateway and, where appropriate, refers to existing standards supported in the market. For general requirements, it is expected that widely adopted standards and technologies will be considered by implementers. It gives supplementary application to IEC 62481, which specifies a central management model in home network supporting various interfaces in LAN side and WAN side (optional).

Passerelle multimédia dans les réseaux domestiques - Lignes directrices

L'IEC 62514:2010 décrit les lignes directrices générales pour des applications typiques de la passerelle multimédia résidentielle dans des réseaux domestiques qui prennent en charge la mise en réseau IP.
La présente norme spécifie les fonctions recommandées et les services qui doivent être pris en charge par la passerelle multimédia résidentielle et, lorsque cela est approprié, renvoie à des normes existantes supportées sur le marché. Pour les exigences générales, les normes et technologies largement adoptées sont présumées être prises en considération par les personnes chargées de la mise en œuvre.
La présente norme ajoute une application supplémentaire à l’IEC 62481, qui spécifie un modèle de gestion centrale dans un réseau domestique qui prend en charge plusieurs interfaces du côté réseau local (LAN) et du côté réseau étendu (WAN - wide area network) (facultatif).
La présente norme est applicable aux passerelles multimédias résidentielles dans le ou les réseaux domestiques d'environnement similaire.
