In a service processing method, a capability exposure network element receives a first message from an application function network element, where the first message carries a terminal identifier and first network information of a first virtual network, the first network information includes a first virtual network identifier, and the first message is used to request to add a terminal corresponding to the terminal identifier to the first virtual network corresponding to the first virtual network identifier; and the capability exposure network element determines, based on the first network information, a first service management device serving the first virtual network, and sends a second message to the first service management device, where the second message carries the terminal identifier and the first network information, and the second message is used to request to add the terminal to the first virtual network.

Service processing method, apparatus, and system

An example communication method includes a session management function (SMF) network element receiving a first application request requesting a service of a 5G virtual network (5GVN) for a first LAN in a data network. The first application request carries address segment information of the first LAN, information about a target group, and interface information of a first tunnel interface of a first local switch (LSW) in the first LAN. The SMF network element determines a first user plane function (UPF) network element that provides the service of the 5GVN and sends first routing information to the first UPF network element, where the first routing information indicates the first UPF network element to forward received first data to the first tunnel interface when a destination address of the first data is any address included in the address segment information of the first LAN.

Communication processing method, and communication processing apparatus and system

Embodiments of this application provide a device and a system of a virtual network service across session management network elements. A group session management network element obtains tunnel information of a first user plane network element serving a first terminal device belonging to a first virtual network group, sends a first message to a second session management network element, where the first message includes an identifier of the first terminal device, an identifier of the first virtual network group, and the tunnel information of the first user plane network element for configuring a first forwarding rule on a second user plane network element, and the first forwarding rule is used by the second user plane network element to send a first data packet to the first user plane network element when one terminal device belonging to the first virtual network group sends the first data packet to the first terminal device.

Virtual network communication method, device, and system

A Method and a system for performing a heartbeat adaptation process are disclosed herein. A computing device detects a condition for initiating the heartbeat adaptation process in accordance with one or more predetermined criteria. In response to detecting the condition, the computing device performs the heartbeat adaptation process by sending, to a server, one or more first heartbeat test packets according to a predefined time interval. If the one or more first heartbeat test packets satisfy one or more test continuation criteria, the computing device: increases the predefined time interval according to a predetermined interval step; and repeats the heartbeat adaptation process using the increased predefined time interval. If the one or more first heart test packages satisfy one or more test termination criteria, the computing device: identifies a stable heartbeat interval according to the predefined time interval; and terminates the heartbeat adaptation process.
