Abstract

A technique for routing one or more service tunnels in a telecommunications backhaul network (110) is provided. The telecommunications backhaul network has a first routing path (132) and a second routing path (134). As to a method aspect of the technique, data of the one or more service tunnels is transmitted on the first routing path (132). A reduction in transmission capacity is detected on the first routing path (134) by means of a first routing path condition. The first routing path condition indicates a state of the first routing path (132). A second routing path condition is determined indicating a state of the second routing path (134) in response to the detected reduction in transmission capacity on the first routing path (132). It is decided upon rerouting one or more of the service tunnels from the first routing path (132) to the second routing path (132) based on both the first routing path condition and the second routing path condition.
