Abstract
The invention relates to a method and gate arrangement for controlling traffic in a telecommunications system. The rate of occurrence of the units, such as calls, transmitted is restricted to a certain predetermined threshold value when their rate of occurrence exceeds the value. In order that it might be possible to better approximate an ideally operating gapping gate, when a new call arrives, an average value of the interval between two consecutive calls is computed on the basis of the earlier accepted calls only, and the call is accepted, if the average value computed is at least the same as the predetermined threshold value.
