ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method and apparatus for assessing quality of service for communication networks. More particularly, the invention is directed to assessing quality of service in circuit and packet switched networks by way of a computer simulation. Preferably, the information necessary to conduct the assessment activity is available via the internet from a web server that also compiles statistical data on the resultant quality of service assessments.
