A process for transferring data packets in a network having a master station, plural subscriber stations, and a common gated channel, wherein each subscriber station records the data package received by it and a transmission quality level of the data package received by the respective subscriber station; each subscriber station reports the recorded transmission quality levels to the master station; the master station determines at least one data routing for each subscriber station on the basis of the transmission quality levels reported to the master station; and a data packet directed to a certain subscriber station is transferred according to the determined data routing. The process is particularly suitable fo the transferral of data packets via the supply lines of a medium- and low-voltage network.
