A communication network is operated by monitoring a bandwidth utilization of a shared network resource, performing a statistical analysis to determine a mean utilization peak and/or a utilization peak coefficient of variance, monitoring a bandwidth utilization of lines, ports, and/or channels associated with the shared network resource, performing a statistical analysis to determine a percentage M of the lines, ports, and/or channels whose consumption of bandwidth exceeds a first threshold percentage of the mean utilization peak, and determining whether to groom traffic carried by the shared network resource based on the mean utilization peak, the utilization peak coefficient of variance, and/or the percentage M.
