ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for determining the used bandwidth (CCR) on a connection (18) on which information-carrying units are transported. The duration (ET) of an arrival period, during which a predetermined number (M) of the cells arrives at a certain point of the connection (18), is measured and stored. The bandwidth (CCR) at an arbitrary point of time (GT) is set to the predetermined number (M) per the stored duration (ET), if the point of time (TS) when the duration (ET) was stored is not longer ago than a predetermined threshold time interval (THR) at the arbitrary point of time (GT).
