1. A method performed by data processing apparatus, the method comprising:

  • obtaining data specifying a baseline data rate for transmissions from a node that are received over a channel of a power line communications system;

    obtaining a set of available modulation techniques for the node, the set of available modulation techniques including at least two modulation techniques with which the node is configured to encode data that are transmitted over the channel;

    selecting a modulation technique for the node, the selected modulation technique being a modulation technique from the set of available modulation techniques, wherein the selected modulation technique is capable of providing data with at least the baseline data rate with at least a threshold confidence; and

    providing, to the node, data specifying the selected modulation technique.
