A bandwidth reallocation circuit can monitor data traffic to and/or from logical network segments (LNSs) of a segmented network. As the data traffic rate to and/or from individual LNSs changes, the bandwidth reallocation circuit can dynamically reallocate the total bandwidth among the LNSs to meet changing bandwidth needs. Thus, as some of the LNSs become busy with data traffic, network bandwidth can be temporarily borrowed for less active LNSs. This can result in more efficient use of the network bandwidth capacity of the network than has been achieved in the prior art, which can significantly increase the speed at which data can be uploaded and/or downloaded to the individual LNSs. |
