8. An apparatus comprising a termination element of a first network, a processor, and a memory device, wherein the apparatus is configured to:
receive a bandwidth report (“BWR”), wherein the BWR includes information regarding a data transmission opportunity over a second network for at least one endpoint data, wherein the BWR indicates a future bandwidth needed for the data transmission with a forward looking traffic profile comprising a quantity of bytes required at a specific time interval, wherein receiving the BWR comprises receiving the BWR as a unsolicited grant service (UGS) flow, and wherein a maximum BWR packet sending rate is equal to a UGS grant interval;
schedule a first network transmission opportunity for the at least one endpoint data using the information derived from the received BWR; and
receive from a first network forwarding device the at least one endpoint data in accordance with the scheduled first network transmission opportunity.
