Abstract
A method for setting a packet transmission mode and a device are provided, and relate to the communications field. To optimize sending of a multicast packet, both robustness and resource consumption are considered. A specific solution is as follows: when a packet amount in a packet cache queue exceeds a first threshold, changing a state of a first multicast group to multicast transmission, where a state that is of the first multicast group and that is before the change is multicast-to-unicast transmission. Technical solutions of this disclosure are used for setting a packet transmission mode.
