1. A method for estimating network traffic comprising:

  • receiving and analyzing connectivity information associated with a network to identify a set of parameters, wherein the connectivity information includes a plurality of samples of user activities stored by a node on the network and the set of parameters includes a distribution of network resources across network regions of the network;

    generating a statistical model of the network using the set of parameters, the statistical model mathematically predicting connectivity between the network regions;

    modifying at least one of the parameters within the set;

    simulating the network using the modified set of parameters and the statistical model; and

    presenting results of the simulation for use in managing the network.
