A method of calculating traffic values in a communications network ( 1 ), the communications network comprising a plurality of nodes ( 2,4 ), the nodes being connected to one another by links ( 24 ), the method comprising: (a) obtaining traffic data measurements ( 102 ) through said nodes and/or links in an initial scenario as input data; (b) deriving a traffic flow model for a modified scenario using a plurality of constraints describing the interdependency of said initial to said modified scenario ( 116 ); and (c) calculating values and/or upper and lower bounds of traffic values for said modified scenario from said traffic flow model using said input data ( 118 ). |
