I have just bought some powerline ethernet modules.  I have heard  
mixed reviews about different circuits, different phases, and overall  
performance.  I haven't done any hard testing yet (though it DOES work  
over the most-important link I had in mind.)

My understanding is that it is an ETHERNET.  So, one (baseband)  
network, but more than two endpoints are possible.  So you should be  
able to connect large numbers of individual hosts to it, and/or  
multiple real routers, bridges, or switches.  I haven't tried that yet  
either (first, to run around the house and see about performance.)
