    Abstract: The present application discloses a method for generating forwarding information. The method includes: determining, by a controller, a first SFE and a second SFE that are used to forward a service stream, where the first SFE and the second SFE are on a service function chain corresponding to the service stream; generating, by the controller, first forwarding information for the first SFE and generating second forwarding information for the second SFE; and sending, by the controller, the first forwarding information to the first SFE and sending the second forwarding information to the second SFE. According to the method for generating forwarding information, the controller generates forwarding information for the SFE, so that a service chaining technology can be applied to a service environment in which a large quantity of services and a large quantity of service processing function units exist.

    Abstract: This application relates to the field of communications technologies, and discloses a service forwarding method and a network device that performs such method. The method includes: forwarding, by a first network device, a data packet of a first service to a second network device in a period (T1); and if the data volume of the forwarded first service reaches a threshold, forwarding, by the first network device, a data packet of a second service to the second network device. The first service is a low-latency service, and the second service is a non-low-latency service. In addition, the period (T1) is determined based on a delay allowed by a device for forwarding the data packet of the first service, and the threshold is a value determined based on a maximum transmission rate of the first service.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a service packet processing method, apparatus, and system. The method includes a first service atom receiving a second packet sent by a central switching device, where a first service packet is encapsulated in the second packet and the second packet further includes a first service path identifier. The first service atom performs first service processing according to information in the first service packet, to obtain a first processing result. The first service atom queries a first path switching entry according to the first processing result and the first service path identifier. The first service atom sends a third packet to the central switching device, where a source device identifier of the third packet is a device identifier of the first service atom, a second service packet is encapsulated in the third packet, and the third packet includes the second service path identifier.

    Abstract: A method for generating forwarding information includes generating, by a controller, first forwarding information, wherein the first forwarding information comprises an identifier of a service chain comprising a first service processing entity (SPE) attached to a first service forwarding entity (SFE); generating, by the controller, second forwarding information, wherein the second forwarding information comprises the identifier of the service chain comprising a second SPE attached to a second SFE; sending, by the controller, the first forwarding information to the first SFE; and sending, by the controller, the second forwarding information to the second SFE. Hence, the controller generates forwarding information for the SFE such that a service chaining technology can be applied to a service environment in which a large quantity of services and a large quantity of service processing function units exist.
