    Abstract: A Border Gateway Protocol Monitoring Protocol (BMP) module sends to a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) module a request for acquiring a capability information set; the BGP module traverses BGP capability data stored in the BGP module to acquire all BGP capability data configured in the network device and sends all the BGP capability to the BMP module; and the BMP module sends to the monitoring server an initial capability information set message carrying all the BGP capability data and a device identifier of the network device. By means of capability extension of a network device, the network device can acquire, through interaction between a BGP module and a BMP module, all BGP capabilities configured in the network device and send all the BGP capabilities to a monitoring server, so that the monitoring server can fully understand actual capability supported by the entire network, further providing an effective basis for deployment of and decision on the entire network.

    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and an apparatus for implementing load sharing. The method includes: for a congested first link on a first forwarding node, selecting, by a network device, a packet flow forwarded by using the first link; selecting a second link that may be used to forward the packet flow and that is not congested after available bandwidth of the second link is occupied by the packet flow, where the second link is a link between the first forwarding node and a second forwarding node; selecting a first hash gene corresponding to the second link; determining that a third link is not in a congested state after available bandwidth of the third link is occupied by the packet flow; and saving the first hash gene in a source node of the packet flow, where the third link is a link that is on the second forwarding node.

    Abstract: A method according to embodiments of this application includes: A first network device sends a first packet to a second network device, where the first packet includes first indication information, and the first indication information indicates a support status of an iFIT capability corresponding to the first network device or a first service module included in the first network device. The first network device sends the packet to the second network device, to notify the support status of the IFIT capability of the first network device. In this way, the second network device can determine, based on the iFIT capability of the first network device, whether to encapsulate a measurement header, to avoid that a service packet cannot be correctly processed because the first network device cannot strip the measurement header from the service packet.
