I'm working on such a thing, or at least a variation of it.

Netjack AFAIK is point-to-point, while cobranet is more of
an 'audio bus' where all nodes can talk to each other in
any combination as long as their is enough capacity.
It has a controller node where you request bandwidth, and 
which provides timing information for the data you want to
send, relative to the periodic sync packet is sends itself.
Everything is planned to avoid collisions on the network.
Links can be broadcast or point to point.
