Abstract
A system and method for allowing concurrent local and remote network data transfers on a common data transmission link using frequency bandwidth partitioning and reservation is provided. Multiple frequency bandwidth segments are configured for remote data transmissions between the local network and the remote service provider. Selected frequency bandwidth segments are reserved for local data transmissions by preventing, under the control of the local network, the reserved frequency bandwidth segment from being configured for the remote data transmissions. Concurrent local and remote data transmissions are allowed on the common transmission medium, where the local data transfers occur on the reserved frequency bandwidth segments, and the remote data transfers occur on the remaining non-reserved frequency bandwidth segments.
