ABSTRACT:
A method of capacity planning in a network includes assigning a class of service to each packet of data on the network. Each class of service is also assigned a grade of service for different network conditions. A class bandwidth is calculated for each class of service under each network condition by multiplying an expected load for each class of service by the associated grade of service under each of the network conditions. A network condition bandwidth is calculated for each network condition by adding together the class bandwidths for all classes. A network capacity is predicted based upon the largest network condition bandwidth. A network management apparatus can perform the method.
