Systems and methods that realistically simulate traffic in a communications network.

Systems and methods for providing timing information from a R-MACHPHY device to a video core while the R-MACPHY device receives video data from the video core while operating in asynchronous mode. In some embodiments, the R-MACPHY device may alternately and selectively configure its mode of operation to alternate between synchronous mode and asynchronous mode, and provide the timing information to the video core when it switches to asynchronous mode.

A CATV & MoCA splitter has an input and at least one output that is CATV & MoCA and at least one output that is MoCA only. The splitter functions as a building block to provide a customizable installation that supplies the needed number of CATV & MoCA outputs and the needed number of MoCA only outputs. The splitter includes a housing with first, second and third coaxial ports attached to the housing. In one embodiment, the second coaxial port is connected to the first coaxial port via a power divider so that all frequencies presented to the first coaxial port can pass to the second coaxial port, and vice versa. A high pass filter, which passes only MoCA signals, connects the power divider and third coaxial port.
