Abstract
Optimum use is made of a currently available data connection capacity for data signal connections between data terminals, which are connected to a circuit-switched switching center, and/or between these data terminals and a data network, in particular the Internet data network, which is connected to the switching center. For the purpose of making optimum use of the currently available transmission capacity for traffic loads on the switching center, additional transmission capacity to that which is available for normal connections is provided below a first threshold V1. If the traffic load exceeds the first threshold V1, the provision of additional transmission capacity for new data signal connections stops. If the traffic load undershoots a second threshold V2, which may be the same as the first threshold V1, additional transmission capacity for new data signal connections is provided again. If the traffic load exceeds a third threshold V3, which is above, between or below the first and second thresholds V1, V2, then, in addition to the action when the first threshold V1 is exceeded, the additional transmission capacity is removed from at least some existing connections.
