Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and a device for processing a communication path. The method includes: obtaining a path processing parameter from local configuration information or from a control layer device, obtaining path information and/or a restarting counter parameter from the control layer device; increasing a path with an opposite-end device when the path information is of increasing a path, identifying the state of the path and/or the state of the opposite-end device using the path processing parameter and/or the restarting counter parameter the opposite-end device; reporting the fault state of the path and/or the reset state of the opposite-end device to the control layer device when the path fails and/or the opposite-end device is reset, releasing sessions on the failed path and/or on a path connected with the reset opposite-end device.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications technologies and disclose a data flow processing method, a device, and a system, thereby solving a problem of operation interruption caused because a switch device is incapable of processing a corresponding user packet by using a received flow entry that is sent in advance by a control device, and improving working efficiency between network devices. The method includes: sending a request message to a control device, where the request message includes an action parameter requested by a switch device, and a to-be-processed packet or an identifier of a to-be-processed packet; receiving packet processing information that is sent according to the request message by the control device; and executing, according to the packet processing information, an operation corresponding to the to-be-processed packet. The embodiments of the present invention are applied in communications application technologies.

The present invention discloses a protocol processing method applied when control is decoupled from forwarding, a control plane device, and a forwarding plane device. The method includes: causing a control plane device to send an indication to a forwarding plane device according to a processing manner of a packet service processing protocol, and to deliver a negotiation parameter of the packet service processing protocol to the forwarding plane device; and causing the control plane device to receive a negotiation result of the packet service processing protocol, and to create a data path between a user equipment and a network device. The negotiation result is uploaded by the forwarding plane device and obtained according to information that includes the negotiation parameter of the packet service processing protocol.

Abstract:
The embodiments disclose a packet control method, a switch, and a controller. The method includes receiving, by a switch, a packet, and processing the packet according to a pipeline, where an original packet is stored in a buffer, and a buffer location of the original packet is identified by using a buffer identifier. The method also includes when the packet fails to match a flow table, sending, by the switch, a first packet message to a controller, where the first packet message carries the buffer identifier, all or partial content of the packet; receiving, a second packet message sent by the controller, where the second packet message carries the buffer identifier and a packet processing instruction, and the packet processing instruction includes indication information of a specified flow table. Additionally, the method includes reprocessing, the packet according to the packet processing instruction and starting at the specified flow table.
