Abstract: This application provides an address processing method and a network device. The method includes: obtaining, by a first network device, an address; determining, by the first network device, a length of a valid address of the address, where the valid address of the address is a 1st bit, whose bit value is 1, of the address to a last bit of the address; and adding, by the first network device when the length of the valid address of the address is less than a table width of a target table, S zeros before the valid address of the address to obtain an adjusted address, and processing the adjusted address based on the adjusted address and the target table, where S is a difference between the table width of the target table and the length of the valid address of the address.

Abstract: This application provides wireless communications configuration methods and apparatuses. One method includes: receiving, by a service node of a server, a first packet sent by a client device, wherein a destination address of the first packet is an internet protocol (IP) address of the server; sending, by the service node, a second packet to the client device, wherein the second packet comprises the IP address of the service node; and receiving, by the service node, a third packet sent by the client device, wherein a destination address of the third packet is the IP address of the service node that is different from the destination address of the first packet.

Abstract: This application discloses a communication method and a related device. The communication method includes: A first in-domain device determines an address length, where the “in-domain” refers to being in a local area network. Then, the first in-domain device receives a data packet, and extracts an address from the data packet based on the address length. Further, the first in-domain device forwards the data packet based on the address.

Abstract: This application provides a packet processing method and apparatus, to avoid chain impact of an abnormal packet caused by an abnormal underlying latency on an uncertain target flow. The method includes: receiving, by a first device, a first packet sent by a second device, where the first packet carries a first label, and the first label is determined based on a cycle in which the second device sends the first packet; determining, by the first device based on the first label, whether the first packet is a normal packet; if determining that the first packet is a normal packet, determining, by the first device, a second packet based on the first packet, where the second packet carries a second label; and sending, by the first device, the second packet to a third device in a first cycle, where the second label is determined based on the first cycle.

Abstract: This application provides a packet sending method. The method includes: receiving, by a target service node, a first packet sent by a client, where a destination address of the first packet is an IP address of a server; sending, by the target service node, a second packet to the client, where the second packet includes an IP address of the target service node; and receiving, by the target service node, a third packet sent by the client, where a destination address of the third packet is the IP address of the target service node. The client changes a destination address from the IP address of the server to the IP address of the target service node to send the third packet, and the server directly forwards the third packet to the target service node with no need to record a correspondence between the client and the target service node.

Abstract: The method includes: receiving, by a first forwarding device, a first control packet sent by a control device, where the first control packet carries N pieces of control information and N network slice identifiers, the N pieces of control information are in a one-to-one correspondence with the N network slice identifiers, where i?[1, N], and N?1; determining, by the first forwarding device, M pieces of first control information from the N pieces of control information based on the N network slice identifiers, where the M pieces of first control information are in a one-to-one correspondence with M first network slices, and the M first network slices are borne on the first forwarding device, where M?1; and controlling, by the first forwarding device, a first network slice j based on first control information j, where j?[1, M].
