Abstract: An apparatus for communicating data in a shared line environment is provided that includes a first reservation element operable to communicate with a second reservation element. The first reservation element is associated with a first location and the second reservation element is associated with a second location. A call may be initiated between the first location and the second location, the second location having one or more end-user devices that share a common line. The first reservation element is operable to reserve bandwidth associated with a connection that involves the first location and the second location before the call occurs.
