Abstract

In a method and circuit arrangement for controlling the transmission of message blocks within a transmission system, the transmission system has transmission processors connected to one another available to it, proceeding wherefrom the message blocks intended therefor are respectively forwarded to an input queue of an individually allocated line termination equipment with a defined transmission rate after passing through a processor queue. This line termination equipment has a plurality of interfaces available to it with which a transmission line designed for an outflow rate that is lower in comparison to the defined transmission rate is respectively connected for the forwarding of message blocks. A flow control is thereby provided between the respective transmission processor and the corresponding line termination equipment such that a momentary load value is individually calculated in the respective transmission processor for the individually allocated interfaces. The load value is calculated according to the criterion of the plurality of message blocks respectively forwarded thereto per time unit. Given upward transgression of a defined limit value by the momentary load value calculated for one of the interfaces, the output of message blocks to the respective interface is suppressed.
