Abstract
The present invention provides a method of operating a communications network such that the classes of service offered by a network operator will depend upon the underlying conditions in the network. A number of performance models, each of which is described by two vectors, is determined from historical network data. These performance models can be assigned to routes through the communications network, such that a request for a session can be made in accordance with the offered performance model for that route.
