Abstract
Embodiments provide an aggregate rate control method, a device, and a system. A gateway switch receives a flow entry and a link table from a software-defined networking (SDN) controller. The flow entry includes at least a match field and a flow-entry instruction, and the link table includes at least a packet processing operation. The gateway switch parses to obtain header information of a received target data packet, and matches the header information with the match field in the flow entry. When the header information matches the match field in the flow entry, a link instruction is executed in the flow-entry instruction in the flow entry. The packet processing operation in the link table is performed, and the packet processing operation is used to discard or buffer the target data packet when a bit rate of an aggregate service flow is greater than a specified maximum aggregate rate.
