Enhanced operation is attained for packet networks with a performance management operations system (PMOS) that receives information from network elements concerning loads carries and lost packets, receives threshold and other parameter information for a network management console, performs various calculations on the received information, and develops recommendations for setting of adjustable network elements controls that affect the quality of service that those elements provide. For those network elements that are capable of receiving operation control signals from the PMOS and that the network management console ceded a measure of control to the PMOS, the developed recommendations are converted to control signals that are directly applied by the PMOS to the network elements to control the network elements' operations.
