A media gateway is coupled to an Internet Protocol (IP) network through a router. The router and the media gateway communicate through a slim protocol that allows the media gateway to reserve connections over the IP network that have certain minimum bandwidth and latency attributes. The router handles the obtaining of the requested IP circuit for the client. The media gateways only need to execute a relatively simple client application and do not have to be independently capable of obtaining IP-QoS information from the IP network.
