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.
