Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided for predictive provisioning of functional packages based on offered traffic and a predictive model of the offered traffic. According to one embodiment of the invention, a managed agent provides predictions regarding an anticipated need for functional package provisioning based on traffic offered to the managed agent and a predictive model of offered traffic. A provisioning agent receives the predictions and in response to the predictions instructs the managed agent to provision a new functional package. According to another embodiment of the invention, the provisioning agent instructs a second managed agent to provision the media resource needed by the original managed agent. The traffic is then routed from the original man aged agent to the second managed agent.
