Abstract
The workloads (Z, ZS, ZS(X), gn1) of a microprocessor system (MPS), of all signaling channels (D) to the connected communication terminal equipment units (KE) and of a memory element pool (SEP) are measured in subscriber line modules (SLMO) of a communication system (KS). The measured workloads are compared to predetermined workload limits (GZ, GZS, gzn1), and an overload of a subscriber line module (SLMO) is recognized dependent on the comparison results. Designational or summary, fast-acting countermeasures can be initiated on the basis of the early recognition of at least two overloads.
