The method includes: receiving, by a first device, a first packet from a second device, where the first packet includes a primary scheduling identifier, and the primary scheduling identifier is used to identify that the second device has permission to select a path; determining, by the first device, a first path used to transmit the first packet; sending, by the first device, a second packet to the second device by using the first path, where the second packet includes a following identifier, and the following identifier is used to identify that the first device sends the packet by using a transmission path selected by a device other than the first device. This can ensure that a same path is used for bidirectional packet transmission between two communication parties while ensuring service quality, in a complex SD-WAN path selection scenario.

Packet transmission method and apparatus

A method, an apparatus, and a system for controlling access of a user terminal, where the method includes receiving, by a controller, an authentication packet sent by an access switching node through an established data tunnel; obtaining, by the controller, a source media access control (MAC) address of the authentication packet; after access authentication implemented on a user terminal, determining, from a maintained correspondence between MAC addresses of user terminals and interface identifiers, an interface identifier corresponding to the MAC address of the successfully-authenticated user terminal, where the interface identifier identifies an interface connected to the user terminal; and sending, by the controller, the determined interface identifier to the access switching node through an established control tunnel, and instructing the access switching node to enable the interface corresponding to the interface identifier.
