The method comprising the steps of receiving information about a topology change of the ring topology of the network, determining which of the data transfers are affected by the topology change, determining, for each of the affected data transfers, a new path through the network, determining new switching instructions for ring nodes (-) that are affected by the new paths determined for the affected data transfers, and transmitting the new switching instructions to the affected ring nodes (-).
