ABSTRACT:
A method for providing files to a remote node including the steps of determining whether bandwidth is available for transmitting across a communications link a file requested by a remote node, reserving bandwidth for the requested file if bandwidth is determined to be available, and opening the requested file for transmission only if bandwidth is reserved. In addition, an apparatus for providing files to a remote node including apparatus for determining whether bandwidth is available for transmitting across a communications link a file requested by a remote node, apparatus for reserving bandwidth for the requested file if bandwidth is determined to be available, and apparatus for opening the requested file for transmission only if bandwidth is reserved.
