A method of distributing a data traffic load of a communications network (KN1) having a number of network nodes networked via link-lines (L1...L6), in which a data-traffic monitoring device (ZNK) ascertains a current data-transmission- capacity utilisation value (A1...A4) and the monitoring device (ZNK) ascertains distribution information (V1...V4) for a respective node (NK1...NK4) and communicates to this. This node (NK1...NK4) then forms a classification standard, independent of the communicated distribution information, and through this information the address information (QA) of the data packets (DP) are classified into individual address classes. The network-node (NK1...NK4) ascertains the address classes from its address information (QA), with the reception of a data packet (DP) to be transmitted to one of the target nodes (NK4), and the data packet (DP) is then transmitted via the route assigned to the ascertained address class (1...7). |
