Abstract
A system and method for ADSL USB bandwidth negotiation are presented. The system comprises a modem that is configured to transfer data between an ADSL line and a USB bus and that is further configured to receive an ADSL line rate setting, submit an isochronous bandwidth request to a computer, reduce the isochronous bandwidth request in response to the availability of isochronous bandwidth, modify the ADSL line rate setting in response to the availability of isochronous bandwidth, and modify the USB bus transfer mode in response to the availability of isochronous bandwidth. The method comprises steps of receiving an ADSL line rate setting, submitting an isochronous bandwidth request to a computer, reducing the isochronous bandwidth request in response to the availability of isochronous bandwidth, modifying the ADSL line rate setting in response to the availability of isochronous bandwidth, and modifying the USB bus transfer mode of the ADSL USB modem in response to the availability of isochronous bandwidth.
