Abstract:
1. A method for optimizing the use of data transmission resources, the method comprising: forming an end-to-end connection between a terminal in a telecommunication system and another party of the end-to-end connection, the end-to-end connection including a first connection part between the terminal and a network element in the telecommunications system and a second connection part between the network element and the other party, monitoring the end-to-end connection to detect an event indicating a difference between a capacity of the first connection part and a capacity of the second connection part, defining an extent of a detected event, checking whether an extent of the detected event fulfills a predetermined condition, and if the condition is fulfilled, changing the capacity allocated to the first connection part from data transmission resources in such a manner that a difference between the capacities of first and second connection parts decreases.
