Method and apparatus for transmitting packet

Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a method and an apparatus for transmitting a packet. The method includes: determining, from a plurality of physical ports of a physical network interface card, a target port whose load condition meets a preset condition; determining a target queue corresponding to the target port based on mapping relationships between the plurality of physical ports and a plurality of queues, where one or more queues of the plurality of queues correspond to one physical port of the plurality of physical ports, and the plurality of queues are used to cache to-be-transmitted packets; and transmitting a packet in the target queue through the target port. Through excluding a heavy loaded physical port and determining a queue corresponding to a light loaded physical port, and then transmitting a packet taken from the queue corresponding to the light loaded physical port through the light loaded physical port, load balance of the physical ports is achieved.
