A network switching device () for quantifying available service-level capacity of a network () for projected network traffic. The network switching device () includes at least one input port (-), at least one output port (-), at least one packet-handling module, and at least one test-packet module. At least one packet-handling module is coupled to an input port (-) and an output port (-). At least one test-packet module is coupled with at least one network switching-device module. The test-packet module is to affect presence of a test packet in the network () for quantifying available service-level capacity of the network () for projected network traffic. A packet-injection system and method for quantifying available service-level capacity of the network () for projected network traffic are also provided.
