Abstract: A session processing method related to the field of wireless communications technologies is provided. The method discloses: obtaining, by user equipment (UE), session type information, where the session type information is used to indicate a type of a first session; and when a first application triggers a first service, determining, by the UE based on the session type information, whether a create session request needs to be initiated for the first service. According to the solutions provided in embodiments, before the create session request is initiated, the UE may determine whether to reuse a created session or create a new session. In this way, for a service that can reuse a created session, no new session needs to be created, thereby reducing signaling exchange between the UE and a network side.

Abstract: The present invention provides a packet processing method and an apparatus. The method includes: determining a to-be-installed flow entry and packet sending information; and sending, to a switch, a flow entry installation message carrying the to-be-installed flow entry and the packet sending information, so that the switch obtains the to-be-installed flow entry and the packet sending information from the flow entry installation message, installs the flow entry, and sends a packet according to the packet sending information. In the present invention, a controller sends a flow entry installation message carrying a to-be-installed flow entry and a packet sending message, where the to-be-installed flow entry and a to-be-sent packet are simultaneously sent, so that a switch simultaneously receives the to-be-installed flow entry and the to-be-sent packet, and performs flow entry installation and packet sending, thereby reducing unnecessary signaling exchange, and improving efficiency of flow entry installation and packet sending.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for forwarding a packet, where a first network virtualization edge (NVE) receives a first packet sent by a first tenant end system (TES), where a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address of the first packet is an IP address of a second TES, a destination media access control (MAC) address of the first packet is a gateway MAC address corresponding to the first NVE. The first NVE acquires an access virtual network identifier (VN ID) and a layer 3 virtual private network (VPN) instance identifier of the first TES, and searches a routing and forwarding table, to obtain an entry corresponding to the IP address of the second TES. Then the first NVE encapsulates the first packet into a network virtualization overlays (NVO3) packet according to the entry, and forwards the NVO3 packet to a second NVE to forward to the second TES.
