Abstract
A system includes a client subsystem and a network service provider subsystem that is coupled to the client subsystem. The network service provider subsystem is adapted to establish a connection between the network service provider subsystem and the client subsystem. The connection has an allocated bandwidth. The network service provider subsystem is further adapted to during the connection, receive a request from the client subsystem to increase the allocated bandwidth and selectively increase the allocated bandwidth in response to the request during the connection.
