Abstract :
Bandwidth provisioning is an important issue for Internet service providers (ISPs) and ensuring quality of service (QoS) is a major concern. QoS is closely related to the available bandwidth which itself is subject to financial constraints. Unfortunately, up to now there have been no adequate tools available in the market so that ISPs can do accurate bandwidth provisioning. In this paper, we describe the software tools developed by GRETI for that purpose. These tools provide several calculators for voice over IP and data traffic
