1. A method for monitoring and controlling data traffic in cellular networks, comprising:
- establishing at least one service class;
continuously monitoring Quality of Service (QoS) parameters for said at least one service class; and
continuously controlling said QoS parameters for said at least one service class based on service level parameters.

Abstract
There are disclosed methods (processes) and systems, for: 1. establishing and defining service classes and service plans; 2. monitoring and controlling parameters related to level of service for each service class; and 3. estimating the additional resources necessary to support excessive traffic demand. These methods and systems provide visibility into the network, enabling management of the network.
