    Abstract: A data flow redirection method to overcome a disadvantage that a quantity of adjustable data flows is relatively small due to limited space of a flow specification forwarding table. The method includes receiving, by a network device, a control message sent by a control device, where the control message carries redirection routing information of a data flow and a redirection routing indication, the redirection routing indication instructing to convert the redirection routing information of the data flow into a forwarding entry in a target forwarding table, and tablespace of the target forwarding table is greater than tablespace of a flow specification forwarding table of the network device, and converting, by the network device, the redirection routing information of the data flow into the forwarding entry in the target forwarding table according to the redirection routing indication.

    Abstract: A route processing method, a device, and a system, where the method includes: a network virtualization edge (NVE) device set including at least two NVE devices includes a common Virtual Etensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) address. The common VTEP address is used to identify a common VTEP, and the common VTEP is deployed on each NVE device in the NVE device set. In addition, each NVE device in the NVE device set includes a VTEP address, and the VTEP address is used to identify a VTEP included in a corresponding NVE device. An NVE device in the NVE device set establishes a VXLAN tunnel between the NVE devices in the NVE device set based on a VTEP address and the common VTEP address using an IMET route.

    Abstract: An information synchronization method includes sending, by a controller, a first message to a network device, where the first message carries control routing protocol (CRP) routing entry information, and is used to advertise a CRP route, and the first message includes first identification information, and after receiving the first message, storing, by a forwarding device, the CRP routing entry information into a CRP routing table of the network device as indicated by the first identification information. Hence, because a route advertised by the controller and a route advertised using a routing protocol between forwarding devices are stored in different routing tables, a related application of the route advertised using the routing protocol between the forwarding devices is not affected.

    Abstract: An information management method includes that a controller generates a first message carrying an address of a first next hop of a network device. The first message includes first identification information. The first identification information instructs the network device to delete, from a next hop table stored in the network device, an entry of the first next hop corresponding to the address of the first next hop. The network device receives the first message, and deletes the entry of the first next hop as indicated by the first identification information. The controller withdraw an unavailable next hop by separately sending information about the next hop to the network device without route prefix information, effectively saving a system resource occupied for route withdrawal message exchanging between the controller and the network device, and improving service processing efficiency.
