A method and apparatus for ensuring a deterministic latency of a network slice, a storage medium, and a product, and belongs to the field of communication technologies. In this solution, topology information of different network slices can be associated with different gate scheduling periods, and the first device can determine a forwarding path of a service flow based on an SLA requirement and an association relationship between topology information and a gate scheduling period, so as to ensure a deterministic latency of the network slice. In addition, because different network slices can be associated with different gate scheduling periods, when the network slices are used to carry various service flows, different service flows may be scheduled and forwarded based on different gate scheduling periods, to meet latency jitter requirements of different services, and ensure deterministic latencies of various services.

Method and apparatus for ensuring deterministic latency of network slice, storage medium, and product

This application provides a packet processing method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium, and pertains to the field of communication technologies. In this application, a control identifier field is added to a packet, and the control identifier field indicates whether forwarding of the packet is allowed when the first network device does not configure the slice identifier on an outbound interface. The control identifier field and a slice identifier of a network slice are carried in the packet, so that the slice identifier and the control identifier field are transmitted on a network together. When a receive end does not configure the slice identifier on the outbound interface, the receive end can discard the packet based on the control identifier field, instead of forwarding the packet by using routing information.

Packet processing method and apparatus, device, and storage medium

This application provides a packet processing method and a device. In this application, a control identifier field is added to a packet, and the control identifier field indicates whether forwarding of the packet is allowed when a resource corresponding to a slice identifier fails to be matched. The control identifier field and a slice identifier of a network slice are carried in the packet, so that the slice identifier and the control identifier field are transmitted on a network together. When a receive end fails to match the resource corresponding to the slice identifier, the receive end can discard the packet based on the control identifier field, instead of forwarding the packet by using routing information.
