This disclosure belongs to the field of communication technologies, and provides a network chip management method and apparatus, a communication device, and a storage medium. According to the network chip management method provided in this disclosure, an idle target network chip is determined based on at least one of a port status, a configuration status, and a traffic status of a network chip; and a first functional module in the target network chip is controlled to run at a sleep running frequency, so that power consumption of the target network chip can be effectively reduced.

Network chip management method and apparatus, communication device, and storage medium

A method includes a first node obtaining a first target bandwidth of first traffic on a first path, where the first path is a path used to transmit the first traffic from the first node to a second node. The first target bandwidth is not greater than a minimum value in remaining available bandwidths of single-hop links on the first path, and a single-hop link is a link between two directly connected nodes. The first node sends the first traffic on the first path based on the first target bandwidth. Accordingly, before traffic is transmitted in the network device, available bandwidth resources are predetermined for the traffic, and the traffic corresponding to the available bandwidth resources is transmitted on the determined available bandwidth resources.

Transmitting traffic on path between nodes in network device based on available bandwidths

A method is applied to a ring link, where the ring link includes a first node, a second node, a third node, and a fourth node in sequence. According to the method, the first node receives first traffic, where the first node is a source node that sends the first traffic on the ring link; and the first node sends the first traffic to the third node, where two reachable paths with equal hop counts are included from the first node to the third node, the first node sends the first traffic to the third node on a preset first transmission path, the first transmission path passes through the second node, and the first transmission path is one of the two reachable paths with equal hop counts. This method can reduce computing load of nodes while implementing non-blocking switching of traffic between the nodes.
