1. A method for configuring a network that includes a plurality of nodes connected by links, said method comprising the steps of:
- identifying criteria for transporting classes of traffic in the network;
simulating the classes of traffic to determine one or more QoS mechanisms for configuring the nodes such that the identified criteria are satisfied;
determining parameters for configuring the determined QoS mechanisms based on the simulated classes of traffic;
determining multiplexing gains of the classes of traffic in the links based on the simulated classes of traffic; and
configuring one or more resources in the network based on the determined QoS mechanisms, the determined parameters, and the determined multiplexing gains.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for provisioning a network by identifying the classes of traffic to be transported in the network as well as the QoS criteria of the identified classes of traffic. By simulating the classes of traffic, one or more QoS mechanisms and their associated parameters may be determined. The statistical multiplexing gains of the classes of traffic may also be determined based on the simulation. Then, one or more resources in the network may be allocated based on the QoS mechanisms and parameters as well as the multiplexing gains.
