A method, system and machine-readable storage device to manage network capacity are provided. In accordance with the method, simulation data is received periodically according to a metric based on data associated with a plurality of communication links interconnecting endpoints. Specially, the simulation data is received according to a periodicity adjusted selectively based on an interval of time between a current date and time and a date and time that a communication link is to be taken offline. The simulation data indicates impact of the communication link to be taken offline on a plurality of alternate communication links. Thereafter, load is moved selectively from the communication link to be taken offline to an alternate communication link of the plurality of alternate communication links based on whether the simulation data associated with the alternate communication link satisfies a predetermined criterion.
