1. A system for modifying bandwidth allocation in accordance with bandwidth requirements of a small office, home office (SOHO) network, having a series of computers therein, comprising:

  • a first transceiver, located within said SOHO; and

    a second transceiver, located within a wide area network (WAN), wherein said first transceiver and said second transceiver are capable of specifying a required spectrum allocation for communication within said SOHO network, and between said SOHO network and said WAN, such that said system appropriately allocates bandwidth according to said specification, wherein said second transceiver communicates with said first transceiver to determine whether to increase bandwidth use within said SOHO network by decreasing bandwidth use between said SOHO network and said WAN, and wherein said second transceiver communicates with said first transceiver to determine whether to increase bandwidth use between said SOHO network and said WAN by decreasing bandwidth use within said SOHO network.
