Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a data transmission method and a gateway. In this way, a quantity of APNs may be decreased, management on the APN is simplified, no change is required for a network structure, a general APN that needs to return to the subscription home location may be configured flexibly, only performing parsing the home location of the APN is required, and a signaling procedure may be simplified; thereby, a requirement for a processing capacity of a gateway device is reduced.
