MoCA
MoCA technology bridges Ethernet traffic onto the coaxial cable network. MoCA
operates from 975 to 1025 MHz on the MoCA WAN channel and 1125 to 1525 MHz,
above the standard RF spectrum of 5 to 862 MHz.

Each MoCA set-top requires an IP address for configuration and management, but do not
require any other IP services. To minimize network IP address requirements, the MoCA
uses the Link-Local IP address space.
Link-Local IP addressing enables MoCA set-tops to operate on a private local area
network (LAN) using a defined range of reserved IP addresses. The MoCA set-tops in a
home automatically self-assign an IP address in the range above 169.254.1.18.
The Link-Local address space is registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA). For detailed information about Link-Local addressing, visit
