The invention relates to a method for the protection of a packet network switching system from an overload due to defective or manipulated packets. According to the inventive method, the format of the incoming packets in the packet network switching system is verified. If a threshold value for the throughput of packets with an incorrect format is exceeded, the network administration receives an alarm. The disruption of the units affected by the overload can be eliminated by the network administration of the packet network switching system by allocating new packet addresses. The method advantageously avoids disruptions occurring in the switching process in the packet network by defending against overload. Preferably, the packet network switching network consists of a PSTN switching system.
