Claim 15:
16. A network system, comprising:
a data network; and
a device for selecting a transport configuration for a data network adapted to transport data traffic belonging to different traffic types the device being configured to:
determine a traffic mix of N traffic types and one traffic load per traffic type transported on the data network, N being an integer greater than 1;
determine, based on the traffic mix, multiple future traffic mixes of the N traffic types and one traffic load change per traffic type, each traffic load change being attributed a probability value for each future traffic mix, an associated future traffic mix class being determined and each future traffic mix class being uniquely associated with a dedicated transport configuration capable of handling any future traffic mix falling in that future traffic mix class;
aggregate the probability values associated with those future traffic mixes that belong to the same future traffic mix class;
select the dedicated transport configuration uniquely associated with a highest one of the probability values across the aggregated probability values and one or more non-aggregated probability values as the transport configuration for the data network; and
classify the traffic mix into one of multiple traffic mix classes, each traffic mix class associated with a dedicated set of future traffic mixes and each dedicated set of future traffic mixes representable by a logical tree structure.
