Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide a method and network apparatus of establishing path, applied in a SDN, the method includes: receiving, by a node, forwarding information from a SDNC; wherein the forwarding information is generated based on a relationship between prefix of IP address and tunnel information; receiving a packet, wherein the packet comprises first prefix information of a first IP address; forwarding the packet according to first tunnel information corresponding to the first prefix information of the first IP address. In the application, the process of route calculation is simplified, and number of forwarding flow entry in internal nodes is reduced.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for transmitting packet in a Virtual Network. In the method, an access switch receives a Layer 3 packet carrying a VNID (Virtual Network IDentifier) from a VM in a remote Data Center. The access switch determines a DN (Designated Node) corresponding to the VNID and generates a Layer 2 frame according to the Layer 3 packet, where the Layer 2 frame includes the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the DN. The access switch to the DN transmits the Layer 2 frame according to the MAC address of the DN such that the DN determines a Layer 3 destination address according to the Layer 2 frame. This avoids packet flooding in Data Center when VM was migrated.
