The invention relates to a system and method for controlling the acces rate of stations in a data packet switching network. The improvement concerns the measures that the system comprising a number of transmitting/receiving stations interconnected by radio communication channels through which data packets can be transferred fror one station to another according to a routing scheme, each station comprising: - means to receive and transmit data packets; - first calculating means for calculating a first parameter which is indicative for its output flow being the number of packets successfully transmitted per time unit; - second calculating means for calculating a second parameter which is indicative for its input flow increase tendency, being a measure based on the output flows of the neighbouring stations the set station can relay which second parameter increases when these output flows decrease; - third calculating means for calculating a third parameter which is indicative for its load; - transmitting means for transmitting said first, second and third parameters to all neighbouring stations in reach of said station; - access rate altering means to alter its access rate; - comparison means; said system functioning during operation of the network in such a manner that in each station said first parameter is calculated by said first calculating means and is transmitted by said transmitting means at regular time intervals to all neighbouring stations in reach of the respective station, in each station thereafter said second and third parameters are calculated by said second and third calculating means respectively, whereafter the transmitting means in each station transmit said second and third parameters to its neighbouring stations in which said comparison means after reception of said second and third parameters determine which station in their neighbourhood has the largest input flow increas tendency and enable said altering means to update on the basis of the third parameter their access rate to bring the load of the station with largest input flow increase tendency closer to the nominal channel load.
