Abstract
A method is provided for computing the size of a virtual circuit that places excessive traffic into a network. An illustrative method adjusts a committed information rate of traffic for a virtual circuit in a telecommunication network and can include downloading statistical data for network switches found on a website, identifying virtual circuits that make excessive use of the network, and adjusting the committed information rate of traffic to form a modified committed information rate of traffic.
