The invention relates to a method for controlling and / or regulating a hydraulic system (1) of a transmission, wherein hydraulic oil is delivered by a pump (3), wherein a hydraulic network model (2) is used to control and / or regulate the pump (3). The hydraulic system (1) can thus be controlled or regulated efficiently, ie the network model (2) has at least one hydraulic resistor (RH1, RH2, RH3, RH4, RH5, RH6, RHS1, RHS3), wherein the calculation is performed via the resistor ( RH1 , RH2 , RH3 , RH4 , RH5 , RH6 , RHS1 , RHS3 ), wherein the pump ( 3 ) is controlled and / or regulated depending on the calculated volume flow.
