Abstract: The present invention provides a method for dynamically adjusting a resource and a scheduling device. By adopting the method for dynamically adjusting a resource and the scheduling device that are provided in the present invention, when routing is performed according to the adjusted routing table, a resource only needs to process a session in a number segment allocated to the resource itself, thereby avoiding an error caused by scheduling across number segments, improving correctness of the method for dynamically adjusting a resource, avoiding that a resource cannot be released because a service session exists for a long time, and improving resource utilization of the method for dynamically adjusting a resource.
