Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and a device for transferring a bootstrap message, and relates to the field of communications. The invention is intended to solve a problem in the prior art that a public network tunnel needs to be separately created for a bootstrap message, which consumes a tunnel resource. A technical solution provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes: receiving, by a first provider edge router, a bootstrap message sent by a bootstrap router; sending, by the first provider edge router, to a second provider edge router, a border gateway protocol BGP message including message content of the bootstrap message, so that after receiving the BGP message, the second provider edge router sends, to a customer edge router, the message content included in the BGP message. The embodiments of the present invention are applicable to a next generation multicast virtual private network.
