A method and system for optimizing network traffic settings and for providing information on projected optimization of transformed traffic for a network includes: providing a traffic descriptor for sampled traffic data of the network; transforming the traffic data and extracting information on the transformed traffic data; and providing the traffic descriptor and the information on the transformed traffic data for analysis. The information can be a transformation traffic descriptor or a delta between untransformed and transformed network traffic. The traffic data and the transformed traffic data can then be modeled based the traffic descriptor and the information, respectively. Bandwidth requirements and quality of service settings for optimizing network performance for a service level can be provided based upon the traffic data model. Information on projected optimization of transformed network traffic can also be provided for the service level based upon the transformed traffic data model.
