A method for dynamically adjusting QoS parameters associated with a
virtual circuit is disclosed. The virtual circuit includes a first end
connected to a first router and a second end connected to a second
router. The method includes receiving an offer message at the second
router, and sending a request message to the first router. The offer
message includes a first set of QoS parameters and the request message
includes a second set of QoS parameters. The method further includes
receiving a request confirmation message at the second router, receiving
a new offer message at the second router, and sending information
compliant with the second set of QoS parameters to the first router. The
new offer message includes the second set of QoS parameters.
