Abstract: An improved system and method of providing bandwidth on demand for an end user and/or enterprise is disclosed. In one example, the method includes receiving, by a controller positioned in a network, a request for a high quality of service connection supporting any one of a plurality of one-way and two-way traffic types between an originating end-point and a terminating end-point. The controller determines whether the originating end-point is authorized to use the requested amount of bandwidth or the codec and whether the terminating end-point can be reached by the controller. The controller directs a portal that is positioned in the network and physically separate from the controller to allocate local port resources and negotiates to reserve far-end resources for the terminating end-point. The controller also provides routing instructions to the portal.

Abstract: An improved system and method of providing bandwidth on demand for an end user and/or enterprise is disclosed. The method includes: sending a request from the user to a control system for a quality of connection service for a specific time limit and either a specific bandwidth or a codec type, wherein the request also includes a source address and a destination address, optional service type and optional video and/or voice codec negotiation; and determining whether the request will be approved or denied, wherein if the request is approved, reserving resources for a transmission of information of the specified bandwidth for the specified time from the source address to the destination address.
