I already knew that the CCS EV car charging standard basically does IPv6 over powerline ethernet and uses something like SOAP calls for the charging negotiation.

Netflix can now serve 100Gbit/s of video (so something like 12,500 individual 4K streams) with an appliance using 100 watts of power. That’s 8 milliwatts for each 4K stream.
