SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING BANDWIDTH ON DEMAND
First Claim
1. A method of providing bandwidth on demand to an end user, the method comprising:
- sending a request for 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; and
determining whether the request will be approved or denied, wherein if the request is approved, instructing a bearer platform, by the control system, in setting up dynamic bandwidth connections, wherein the bearer platform responds to controller designated bearer port and route selection decisions to deliver high quality and low latency bandwidth connections point-to-point and point-to-multipoint and wherein the bearer port is tightly controlled by a remote platform such that all ingress and agrees traffic bandwidth admission is managed by the remote platform; and
reserving resources for a transmission of information of the specified bandwidth, which is managed and monitored by the controller for the specified time from the source address to the destination address.

10. A method of providing bandwidth on demand to an end user, the method comprising:
-
sending a request for 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, to be determined by the user upon termination, wherein the request also includes a source address and a destination address; instructing a bearer platform, by the control system, in setting up dynamic bandwidth connections, wherein the bearer platform makes a bearer port and route selection decisions to deliver high quality and low latency bandwidth connections point-to-point and point-to-multipoint and wherein the bearer port is tightly controlled by a remote platform such that all ingress and agrees traffic bandwidth admission is managed by the remote platform; 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 quality from the source address to the destination address, until either the user or the network owner determines to terminate the connection in real-time, upon which real-time billing records may be generated recording available usage information or real-time intervention by a pre-paid billing solution. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
