Abstract

See full text

A system and method for modifying the spectrum allocation for DSL and LAN signals in accordance with bandwidth requirements of a small office, home office (SOHO) network is disclosed. After initiation of computers within the SOHO network, a handshake procedure is performed between the SOHO network and a wide area network (WAN). The handshake procedure discloses bandwidth requirements for the SOHO network to perform local communication between local area networks (LANs), and for the SOHO network to communicate with the WAN. As a result, the system modifies the spectrum allocation for digital subscriber line (DSL) and LAN signals associated with the SOHO network such that maximum bandwidth allocation is provided in accordance with actual bandwidth need.
