Abstract
For avoiding overload in a wideband switching system, in which the messages are subdivided into blocks and transmitted over wideband transmission links according to an asynchronous time-division multiplex method, it is known to arrange bidirectional counters assigned to the different subscribers in the switching nodes. By means of the count of the bidirectional counter it can be easily verified whether the maximum and mean transmission rates determined by the subscriber station are adhered to. For avoiding overload and for charge-metering the switching node comprises two up-counters--in lieu of one bidirectional counter--for each subscriber station. This enables establishing both the duration of the connection and the number of blocks transmitted during this connection. From the ratio between the counts a criterion is derived to recognize overload.
