The present invention relates to a method and a network element for distributing SS7 traffic to a destination in an SS7 network over a plurality of links, wherein the distribution is handled on the basis of link selection parameters that are derived from message fields of the SS7 traffic, and wherein a link is uniquely assigned to each link selection parameter value. The method is characterized in that during the operation of the SS7 network one traffic volume per link selection parameter value is monitored, and the link selection parameter values are reassigned to the links on a time- or event-driven basis subject to the proviso that the ratio of transported traffic volume to connection capacity is as far as possible the same for all links, with a transfer procedure similar or identical to the change back procedure being used for links with reassigned link selection parameter values in order to avoid messages overtaking one another.
