The main objective of the REMPLI project1 is to develop a distributed infrastructure suitable for realtime monitoring and control of energy distribution and consumption. PLC technology has been chosen to form the main communication infrastructure. The targeted applications possess different requirements in terms of Quality-of-Service (QoS) that should be taken into account by the underlying network. This comes to say that a traffic dispatching policy must be defined which guarantees minimum bandwidth utilization through periodic traffic and short end to end delay of aperiodic data request services.
