Abstract: A network device obtains, from a transaction queue, a plurality of transactions that do not conflict with each other, and performs reverse shallow copying in parallel for the transactions that do not conflict, to generate a plurality of temporary trees corresponding to the plurality of transactions. Because the plurality of transactions does not conflict with each other, processing the transactions in parallel can ensure accurate and proper transaction processing. In addition, generating the temporary trees in a reverse shallow copying manner can effectively reduce consumption of time and memory. Further, processing of the plurality of transactions is implemented by merging the plurality of temporary trees.

Abstract: A solution for obtaining an interior gateway protocol IGP domain through division in a network is provided. The network includes an access site link and a non-access site link. The access site link includes a link between access site devices and a link between an access site device and an aggregation site device. The non-access site link includes a link other than the access site link in the network. In this solution, a network device determines a changed access site subgraph based on a change of a network topology of the network, and obtains an IGP domain through division based on a link in the changed access site subgraph. The access site subgraph is one or more connection diagrams formed after the non-access site link is removed from the network topology. This solution can improve efficiency of IGP domain division.
