Claims19
A method for processing source role information, applied to a network comprising an Ingress device and an Egress device, comprising:
- receiving, by the Ingress device, a packet from user equipment;
- receiving, by the Ingress device, source role information of the user equipment after a verification of the user equipment;
- converting, by the Ingress device, the source role information of the user equipment into a source role tag, wherein the source role tag corresponds to a role of the user equipment;
- inserting, by the Ingress device, the source role tag into the packet;
- and
- forwarding the packet to the Egress device.
