  In this note, we summarize and compare various model predictions for $pp$
total cross-section $\sigma_{\rm tot}^{pp}$, giving an estimate of the range of
predictions for the total cross-section, $\sigma_{\rm tot}^{pp}$ expected at
the LHC. We concentrate on the results for $\sigma_{\tot}^{pp}$ obtained in a
particular QCD based model of the energy dependence of the total cross-section,
including the effect of soft gluon radiation. We obtain the range of
predictions in this model by exploring the allowed range of model parameters.
We further give a handy parametrisation of these results which incidentally
spans the range of various other available predictions at the LHC as well.
