The new HomePlug AV standard, deployed by the HomePlug Alliance, offers a data rate in excess of 150 Mbps. This capacity is theoretically able to transmit the most usual multimedia applications at home (IPTV and VoD). The article presents comprehensive field test results addressing such issues as packet delay, interarrival jitter and bandwidth, in order to evaluate the performance of the HomePlug AV standard for the transmission of IPTV and VoD services. The protocols used by these applications and the HomePlug AV specification are also presented. %K Ingeniería Telemática %K Redes inalámbricas %K Tecnología HomePlug AV %K Servicio multimedia en el hogar %K Red de comunicación %K Ancho de banda %K Formato de almacenamiento %K Wireless network %K HomePlug AV %K Home multimedia service %K Communication network %K Bandwidth %K Storage format %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
