Abstract
Provided is a method for forwarding service data, a network device, and a network system. The forwarding method may include the following operation. A forwarding path for service data is determined according to network resource configuration information of a designated network and a network slice of the service data, wherein the network resource configuration information indicates one or more network slices associated with one or more network resources of the designated network, and a network slice associated with a network resource of the determined forwarding path matches the network slice of the service data; and the service data is forwarded according to the forwarding path.
Claims14
A method for forwarding service data in a designated network, the method comprising:
- determining, by a network device, a forwarding path for the service data according to network resource configuration information of the designated network and a network slice of the service data, wherein the network resource configuration information indicates one or more network slices associated with one or more network resources in the designated network, and a network slice associated with a network resource of the determined forwarding path matches the network slice of the service data;
- and
- forwarding, by the network device, the service data according to the forwarding path;
- wherein determining, by the network device, the forwarding path for the service data according to the network resource configuration information of the designated network and the network slice of the service data comprises:
- determining, by the network device, the forwarding path for the service data according to link resource configuration information, wherein the network slice associated with each link on the determined forwarding path is the same as the network slice of the service data, the network resource configuration information comprises the link resource configuration information, and the link resource configuration information indicates one or more network slices associated with one or more links in the designated network;
- wherein determining, by the network device, the forwarding path for the service data according to the network resource configuration information of the designated network and the network slice of the service data further comprises:
- determining, by the network device, a member interface of the link for forwarding the service data on the forwarding path according to link member interface configuration information, wherein a network slice associated with the member interface of the link for forwarding the service data is the same as the network slice of the service data, the link resource configuration information comprises the link member interface configuration information, and the link member interface configuration information indicates one or more network slices associated with one or more member interfaces of one or more links in the designated network.
