A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for power line communication (PLC) are provided. The apparatus receives a first packet, selects a bus from a plurality of PLC buses, each PLC bus isolated from other buses of the plurality of buses, and forwards the first packet to a destination PLC modem connected to the selected bus. A method and system for switched power line communication (PLC) is also provided. The system provides power to a plurality of PLC buses via a main circuit breaker, receives a first signal for communicating to a PLC bus, selects a PLC bus from the plurality of buses based on the first signal, communicates a second signal to the selected PLC bus, the second signal based on the first signal, and filters the second signal communicated to the selected PLC bus to prevent the second signal from passing through the main circuit breaker. |
