Abstract
This application provides a data processing method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving, by a first VNFC a first data packet and a flow label of the first data packet that are sent by a second VNFC, where the flow label is generated by the second VNFC according to flow information of the first data packet or is received by the second VNFC from a third VNFC; and selecting, by the first VNFC according to the flow label, a first processing node configured to process the first data packet, where the first processing node is a processing node in the first VNFC. By means of the method in this application, system consumption can be reduced, and processing efficiency of a data packet can be improved.
Claims10
A data processing method, comprising:
- receiving, by a first virtualized network function component (VNFC), a first data packet and a flow label of the first data packet that are sent by a second VNFC, wherein the flow label is generated by the second VNFC according to flow information of the first data packet or is received by the second VNFC from a third VNFC;
- and
- selecting, by the first VNFC according to the flow label, a first processing node configured to process the first data packet, wherein the first processing node is a processing node in the first VNFC.
A data processing apparatus, comprising:
- a first dispatch node and M processing nodes, wherein M is an integer greater than or equal to 2;
- and
- the first dispatch node is configured to:
- receive a first data packet and a flow label of the first data packet that are sent by a second virtualized network function component VNFC, wherein the flow label is generated by the second VNFC according to flow information of the first data packet or is received by the second VNFC from a third VNFC;
- and select, according to the flow label of the first data packet, a first processing node configured to process the first data packet, wherein the first processing node is a processing node of the M processing nodes.
