    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to user plane information reporting methods and apparatus. In one example method, a session management network element obtains parameter information, and initiates establishment of a dedicated tunnel between a first communications apparatus and a second communications apparatus, where the parameter information indicates the first communications apparatus to report user plane information when a reporting condition is met. The session management network element sends a first rule to the first communications apparatus, where the first rule indicates the first communications apparatus to send a packet to the second communications apparatus through the dedicated tunnel when the reporting condition is met.

    Abstract: An address obtaining method includes obtaining, by a third network device, an identifier of a first application from a terminal device. The identifier of the first application indicates a request for obtaining an address of an instance of the first application. The address obtaining method further includes sending, by the third network device, a first message to a first network device, wherein the first message comprises the identifier of the first application, and the first message is useable to request the address of the instance of the first application. The address obtaining method further includes receiving, by the third network device, the address of the instance of the first application from the first network device, and sending the address of the instance of the first application to the terminal device.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a policy control method and system, a network element, and a storage medium. A control plane network element establishes, for UE, a first DN connection that uses a first forwarding plane network element as an anchor. The method includes: when the control plane network element receives a handover notification message for the UE and determines that a second forwarding plane network element serves the UE, or when the control plane network element establishes, for the UE, a second DN connection that uses a second forwarding plane network element as an anchor, the control plane network element updates a forwarding path of the first DN connection, so that an updated forwarding path of the first DN connection passes through the second forwarding plane network element, and the second forwarding plane network element performs policy control on a packet on the first DN connection.

    Abstract: This application disclose an application discovery solutions. The application discovery method is applied to a first SMF network element, and includes: obtaining a first domain name requested by a terminal device; sending the first domain name to a second SMF network element; and receiving first information from the second SMF network element, where the first information includes information about a first application platform or an IP address of a DNS server corresponding to the first application platform, the first application platform is an application platform on which a first application corresponding to the first domain name is located, and the first information is for obtaining a target IP address corresponding to the first domain name. The terminal device may access, by using the target IP address, the first application corresponding to the first domain name.

    Abstract: A session processing method includes determining, by a processor that a first application is not associated with a session parameter of a first session when starting the first application. The method also includes transmitting data of the first application through the first session in response to obtaining indication information. The indication information indicates that the session parameter of the first session can satisfy a session parameter requirement of the first application.

    Abstract: A control method for collecting traffic statistics includes a control node obtains a statistics collection instruction, where the statistics collection instruction is used to instruct to collect traffic statistics of a target data flow, generates a traffic statistics collection policy according to the statistics collection instruction, where the traffic statistics collection policy includes a matching identifier of the target data flow, a first command, and a second command, and sends the traffic statistics collection policy to a forwarding node. The first command is used to instruct the forwarding node to set a traffic identifier for the target data flow based on the matching identifier, the second command is used to instruct the forwarding node to add traffic generated by a target packet to a traffic statistics collection result corresponding to the traffic identifier which is used to describe the traffic of the target data flow.
