<p>Method and system for sizing of an entity, such as a communications network. In the preferred embodiment, the system is a PC-based (10) data-driven interactive computational tool for the sizing of packet switched networks. The method includes the step of defining an input screens text file, a calculation processing text file, and a report format text file, each of which are user-modifiable. The method also includes the steps of entering (42), by a user, network sizing data to the computer in response to predefined input queries (62) related to network requirements contained in the input screens file, and calculating (44) the number of network components according to the process calculation file utilizing the entered network sizing data so as to determine the size of the network. The method also includes generating a network sizing report (46) of the number of network components according to the report format file and configuring the network based on the network sizing report.</p> |
