An arrangement is provided for modeling the performance of a communication network. One or two sigmoid functions may be used to model the performance of a physical layer versus the SINR of a transmission channel across all of the available modulation and coding schemes. The sigmoid function(s) abstract(s) away all of the available modulation and coding choices to provide an estimate for the PHY throughput. This estimate can then be utilized by higher network layers to obtain the network throughput at the application level, which may then be used to produce a data stream by an application source. Based on the data stream thus produced, the quality of information to be transmitted via a channel, when received, may be estimated.
