This application describes a congestion control method and apparatus. In this application, a network device obtains time information of one or more congestion packets in a sent first data stream, where the one or more congestion packet carries a flag indicating a congestion notification. When the first data stream is congested, the network device obtains a first congestion notification packet based on the time information of the one or more congestion packets in the first data stream, where the first congestion notification packet notifies that a packet is congested beyond a first specified interval. The network device then sends the first congestion notification packet. According to the solutions in this application, a rate of a data stream can be prevented from being increased when the data stream is congested, and packet transmission efficiency is improved.

Congestion control method and apparatus

A buffer configuration method and a switching device are disclosed, to ensure no packet loss, and belongs to the field of network technologies. The method includes: sending, by a first switching device, a first measurement frame to a second switching device; receiving, by the first switching device, a second measurement frame sent by the second switching device, where the second measurement frame is generated based on the first measurement frame; determining, by the first switching device, a buffer configuration parameter based on the first measurement frame and the second measurement frame; and setting, by the first switching device, a local buffer based on the configuration parameter. The present disclosure is used to automatically configure a buffer of a switching device, thereby reducing required buffer space without packet loss.

Buffer configuration method and switching device

This application discloses an information notification method and a related apparatus. The Ethernet storage system includes a first switching device and a first node, and the first switching device is an access device of the first node. The first node sends a join message to the first switching device. The join message includes an identifier of the first node and configuration information of the first node. The first switching device receives the join message, obtains the identifier of the first node based on the join message, determines, based on the identifier of the first node, a first zone corresponding to the first node, and sends a join notification message to a second node that belongs to the first zone. The join notification message includes the identifier of the first node and the configuration information of the first node.

Ethernet storage system, and information notification method and related apparatus thereof

This application provides a packet processing method and a network device. A third network device is multi-homed to a first network device and a second network device, the first network device is configured with a first physical MAC address and a virtual MAC address, the second network device is configured with a second physical MAC address and the virtual MAC address, and the virtual MAC address is used to forward a user data packet to a network side. The method includes: a first network device receives a protocol packet from a third network device, where the protocol packet includes the second physical MAC address; and the first network device forwards the protocol packet to the second network device based on the second physical MAC address. Thus, the protocol packet can be normally forwarded without special configuration on a server, so that a cumbersome configuration process is avoided.

Packet processing method and related apparatus

A network congestion handling method includes obtaining network status information; determining, based on the network status information and an Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) optimization model, a reference probability corresponding to recommended ECN configuration information; determining destination ECN configuration information based on the reference probability; and performing ECN marking on a packet by using the destination ECN configuration information.

Network congestion handling method, model update method, and related apparatus

A method and an apparatus for topology discovery are disclosed. Link state information of each port of each device on a ring network is confirmed through neighbor negotiation between a first device and a neighbor device, and by broadcasting a link state information base of each device to other devices on the ring network, each device on the ring network can obtain the newest and synchronous link state information of each port on the ring network, so that each network device on the ring network implements topology discovery of the ring network where the network device is located.
