Abstract
A personal gaming system includes a home network router and a gaming host operable to request a bandwidth allocation from the home network router, the bandwidth allocation being associated with a multimedia stream between the gaming host and a client system, and provide the multimedia stream to the home network router for routing to the client system, where the multimedia stream is within the bandwidth allocation. The home network router is operable to receive the request for the bandwidth allocation from the gaming host, determine whether an available bandwidth for data traffic between the gaming host and the client system is greater than the bandwidth allocation, and if so to allocate the bandwidth allocation for data traffic between the gaming host and the client system, and provide an indication to the gaming host that the bandwidth allocation is allocated for data traffic between the gaming host and the client system.
