Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling the transport capacity for data transmission in a network, providing a high level of resilience, and at the same time, avoiding excessive overdimensioning of network capacity. The method includes providing a transport connection having a basic data transport capacity, ascertaining measured variables which are a measure of the current data load on the transport connection, and aligning the data transport capacity of the transport connection dependent on the measured variable ascertained.
