Abstract

Method for overload prevention in a switching center of a communication network. For optimizing the overload prevention of a switching center, the operating personnel assign fixed priority levels bundle-by-bundle to the ports of the trunks. Since this allocation is often implemented in an unprofessional manner, the behavior of the switching center is correspondingly unfavorable in case of an overload. In order to avoid this problem, the priority levels for ports of trunks are automatically assigned by the software of the switching center in accordance with the method for overload prevention.
