PCT No. PCT/FI93/00238 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 3, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 3, 1995 PCT Filed Jun. 1, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/25031 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 9, 1993A method and an equipment for monitoring the fill rate of an elastic buffer memory used in a synchronous digital telecommunication system, such as the SDH or SONET system. To enable the monitoring of the fill rate of the channels with less hardware than previously, the fill rate of at least two channels of the same level of hierarchy is monitored on a time-division basis in a monitoring unit common to the channels.
