The invention proposes a method for controlling a network comprising at least one cell served by a first type network device, wherein the first type network device is adapted to serve second type network devices, the method comprising the steps of detecting (S1) the downlink load of the cell in a direction from the first type network device to the second type network device, deciding (S2) whether the first type network device serving the cell is suited to serve sufficient service to second type network devices requesting service in the cell with respect to the detected downlink load, generating (S3) information as to the attractiveness of the first type network device based on the result of the deciding step, and providing the information to the second type network devices. The invention proposes also a device for controlling a network. By the method and the device, the load on a network can be more evenly distributed.
