When comparing the speed at which your connected home will need to run
to the speed you can get from the connection type, you should consider which
programs may run at the same time in your connected home.
For example, you have stored several MP3 audio files in your connected home.
You typically play music on your Gateway Connected Music Player, and at
the same time your teenager may play music on another computer. Playing
two MP3 audio files simultaneously requires 200 Kbps + 200 Kbps = 400 Kbps.
If at the same time you are playing two MP3 audio files, you also print a file
to your printer, the speed required increases to
200 Kbps + 200 Kbps + 200 Kbps = 600 Kbps.
A comparison of the two tables on the previous page shows that both
HPNA 2.0 and standard Ethernet can handle most programs in a connected
home. If you anticipate using a combination of programs that regularly exceed
8000 Kbps, you should consider installing Fast Ethernet for your connection.
