    Abstract: A load balancing method is provided: A load balancer obtains an invalidation notification, where the invalidation notification includes an identifier of an invalid object on a target side, and the invalid object includes an invalid interaction node, an invalid session group on an interaction node, or an invalid session in a session group; the load balancer broadcasts the invalidation notification, where the invalidation notification is used to instruct an interaction node on a source side to delete recorded information about a load balancing protocol of the invalid object; and the load balancer reassigns an interaction node to an application interaction request when the load balancer receives the application interaction request sent by the interaction node on the source side and destination data in the application interaction request is empty. In this way, reliability of message exchanging is ensured when an interaction node is abnormal.

    Abstract: A method for configuring a path for intercepting user data, a method for intercepting user data, an apparatus, a system, a control plane entity and a user plane entity are provided. The method for configuring the path for intercepting user data comprises: acquiring a target to be intercepted and an intercepting interface address; configuring data path configuration information on a user plane entity GW-U according to the target to be intercepted and the intercepting interface address; sending the data path configuration information to the user plane entity GW-U so that the GW-U establishes a path for data transmission; initiating an establishment of an intercepting connection of an intercepting interface to an intercepting entity based on the intercepting interface address so as to transmit the data of the target to be intercepted.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for controlling a service data flow. The method includes: acquiring, by a controller, index information related to a UE, where the index information includes at least a user information index, a PDN connection index, a bearer index, and a service data flow table index that are related to the UE; sending, by the controller, the index information to a forwarder by using an entry notification message; when a first control event of a service data flow is triggered, acquiring, by the controller, a first instruction index according to the first control event, where the first instruction index includes at least one type of the index information related to the UE; and sending, by the controller, the first instruction index to the forwarder by using first control signaling.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by an ingress network element, a data packet, wherein an ingress flow entry is stored in the ingress network element. The ingress flow entry comprises flow description information and a processing network element indication, where the flow description information matches the data packet, and the processing network element indication is used to indicate a processing network element that processes the data packet after the ingress network element. The method further includes sending, by the ingress network element, the data packet to the processing network element according to the ingress flow entry, so that the processing network element performs context processing on the data packet.
