Abstract
In the transfer of a connection between a packet-switched and a line-switched communications network, conversion of user data which are to be transmitted via the connection is controlled by a first gateway device disposed between the packet-switched and the line-switched communications network. The conversion is carried out depending on transfer information which is formed by a second gateway device located on the path of the connection and disposed between the line-switched and a further packet-switched communications network.
