A packet processing method and apparatus, and a related device, the method including generating, by a first device, a flow filtering rule, where the flow filtering rule includes a match item and an action item, and where the match item comprises an Internet Protocol (IP) address and an autonomous domain identifier, and sending, by the first device, the flow filtering rule to a second device, where the action item is used to instruct the second device to process, based on a packet processing mode indicated by the action item, a packet matching the match item.

Method, apparatus, and system for generating, and processing packets according to, a flow filtering rule

A data flow redirection method to overcome a disadvantage that a quantity of adjustable data flows is relatively small due to limited space of a flow specification forwarding table. The method includes receiving, by a network device, a control message sent by a control device, where the control message carries redirection routing information of a data flow and a redirection routing indication, the redirection routing indication instructing to convert the redirection routing information of the data flow into a forwarding entry in a target forwarding table, and tablespace of the target forwarding table is greater than tablespace of a flow specification forwarding table of the network device, and converting, by the network device, the redirection routing information of the data flow into the forwarding entry in the target forwarding table according to the redirection routing indication.
