1. A method for calculating a capacity for high speed packet access data in a link in a communications network, comprising:
- determining, by a processor, a capacity value where a quality of service metric is met for streaming data, long elastic data and short elastic data, wherein the determining comprises;
determining an ordering of priority for the streaming data, the long elastic data and the short elastic data;
calculating a sub-par customer time fraction for the streaming data, a long elastic sub-par customer data fraction and a short elastic sub-par customer data fraction based upon the ordering of priority; and
determining if the sub-par customer time fraction is greater than or equal to a target sub-par customer time fraction, if the long elastic sub-par customer data fraction is greater than or equal to a target long elastic sub-par customer data fraction, and if the short elastic sub-par customer data fraction is greater than or equal to a target short elastic sub-par customer data fraction; and
provisioning, by the processor, the link with the capacity value if the quality of service metric is met.

Abstract
A method, computer readable medium and apparatus for calculating a capacity for high speed packet access data in a link in a communications network are disclosed. For example, the method initializes parameters associated with streaming data, long elastic data and short elastic data, determines, via a processor, a capacity value such that a quality of service metric is met for the streaming data, the long elastic data and the short elastic data and provisions the link with the capacity value if the quality of service metric is met.
