A service packet processing method, apparatus, and system, the method including receiving, by a first network device, a first packet, where the first packet includes a first service path identifier, and the first service path identifier indicates a first service path for transmitting the first packet, generating, by the first network device, a second packet based on the first packet, where the second packet includes a second service path identifier indicating a second service path, and the second service path identifier is different from the first service path identifier, and sending, by the first network device, the second packet via the second service path.

Service packet processing method, apparatus, and system

A service chain fault detection method includes: determining, by a service forwarding entity (SFE), to communicate with a first service function (SF) node on a service chain after obtaining a first fault tracing detection request packet, wherein the first fault tracing detection request packet comprises a path identifier (ID), and the path ID is used to identify a path of the service chain; obtaining, by the SFE, an ID of the first SF node; and sending, by the SFE, a first fault tracing detection response packet to the device for initiating fault detection, wherein the first fault tracing detection response packet comprises the path ID and the ID of the first SF node.

Service chain fault detection method and apparatus

An embodiment method includes: a first service atom receives a second packet sent by a central switching device, where a first service packet is encapsulated in the second packet and the second packet further includes a first service path identifier. The first service atom performs first service processing according to information in the first service packet, to obtain a first processing result. The first service atom queries a first path switching entry according to the first processing result and the first service path identifier. The first service atom sends a third packet to the central switching device, where a source device identifier of the third packet is a device identifier of the first service atom, a second service packet is encapsulated in the third packet, and the third packet includes the second service path identifier.

This application discloses a service chain fault detection method and an apparatus. The method includes: determining, by a service forwarding entity (SFE), to communicate with a first service function (SF) node on a service chain after obtaining a first fault tracing detection request packet, wherein the first fault tracing detection request packet comprises a path identifier (ID), and the path ID is used to identify a path of the service chain; obtaining, by the SFE, an ID of the first SF node; and sending, by the SFE, a first fault tracing detection response packet to the device for initiating fault detection, wherein the first fault tracing detection response packet comprises the path ID and the ID of the first SF node.
