The invention relates to a method and system for modifying the contents of a database of a communication network. The database is provided in or for at least one first network element and contains several connection information sets for at least one user equipment, the connection information sets including one or more addresses of a second network element and further data. The first network element is adapted to provide connections to and/or from the user equipment, and/or transmit data to and/or from the user equipment, using one or more of the addresses of the second network element and some of the further data included in the connection information sets. When the connection is to be continued using another, third network element, or using different connection information, a message containing change information is sent to the first network element which in response thereto changes the address or addresses and/or some of the further data contained in at least two connection information sets. Thus, the number of messages to be transmitted is kept small, leading to a significant reduction of the overall network processing load. The invention likewise provides a network implementing the described method.
