Abstract: Provided is a method for forwarding service data, a network device, and a network system. The forwarding method may include the following operation. A forwarding path for service data is determined according to network resource configuration information of a designated network and a network slice of the service data, wherein the network resource configuration information indicates one or more network slices associated with one or more network resources of the designated network, and a network slice associated with a network resource of the determined forwarding path matches the network slice of the service data; and the service data is forwarded according to the forwarding path.

Abstract: Provided are a method and device for packet forwarding. The method comprises: interface direction information and a routing table issued by a control plane are received, where a route in the routing table carries a routing direction identifier; when a packet is received from an interface, a forwarding plane determines the interface direction of an incoming interface of the packet according to the interface direction information, and determines a routing direction of the packet according to the routing direction identifier; if the interface direction of the incoming interface matches the routing direction, then the packet is forwarded; and if not, then the packet is discarded.

Abstract: Provided are an interior gateway protocol flooding optimization method and device, and a storage medium. The method for optimizing flooding of an internal gateway protocol comprises: flooding, by a first node, a first packet carrying link state data and first record information to at least one neighboring node, wherein the first record information comprises indication information of nodes that the link state data has passed through. In this embodiment, by carrying indication information of a node that link state data passes through, it is convenient for the node to reduce redundant sending of link state information according to the information, thereby accelerating convergence speed.
