Abstract: The present invention provides a method, an apparatus, and a system for deploying a service flow forwarding function. The method includes: sending, by a control plane network element, a notification message to an infrastructure controller, the notification message includes at least one forwarding identifier corresponding to a user service flow and includes an identifier of a target forwarding plane network element providing service processing for the user service flow; the notification message is used to instruct the infrastructure controller to determine a first forwarding rule including the at least one forwarding identifier and the identifier of the target forwarding plane network element and send the first forwarding rule to an infrastructure forwarder controlled by the infrastructure controller.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a service processing method, an apparatus, and a system that relate to the field of communications technologies and are used to reduce resource waste. The method includes: controlling, by a controller, a first node to send a received packet to a processing network; and controlling, by the controller, the processing network to process the packet and then send a processed packet to a second node. The first node is a base station or a network element connected to the base station, and the second node is a routing function entity; or the first node is the routing function entity, and the second node is the base station or a network element connected to the base station. The routing function entity is an anchor point of an Internet Protocol IP address of a user.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides processing method including: receiving, by a forwarding plane device, an operation request of a service flow processing policy from a first control domain, the operation request of the service flow processing policy includes a service flow identifier corresponding to a to-be-processed policy; obtaining an identifier of the first control domain according to the operation request of the service flow processing policy; determining whether to allow the first control domain to operate the to-be-processed policy; and if the forwarding plane device determines to allow the first control domain to operate the to-be-processed policy, operating the to-be-processed policy according to the operation request of the service flow processing policy.
