In a buffer (10) to compensate for runtime fluctuations of data packets (1) transmitted over a transmission line (40), in order to be able to set optimally an additional retransmission delay by the buffer (10) it is proposed to calculate the probable hold time of a data packet (1) immediately after arrival of a data packet (1) in the buffer (10). The additional retransmission delay by the buffer (10) is set based on the probable hold time of the data packets (1) in the buffer (10). To guarantee optimum setting of the retransmission delay, both the maximum detected probable hold time and the minimum detected probable hold time of the data packets (1) are used. This is achieved preferably by means of a minimum value detector and a maximum value detector which detect extreme values of the probable hold time occurring at specific time intervals.
