Abstract
This application discloses a packet processing method and a Label Switching Router (LSR). The method includes receiving, by an Ingress LSR of a first Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) tunnel, a first notification packet that is based on an IGP, where the first notification packet includes an Entropy Label Capability (ELC) flag indicating that the first Egress LSR has ELC. The method further includes, after learning from the first notification packet that the first Egress LSR has ELC, inserting a label into a first packet, to generate a second packet. The label forms an MPLS label stack, which includes, from bottom to top, a first EL, a first ELI, and a first TL. The method further includes sending the second packet to the first Egress LSR through the first MPLS tunnel.
