Abstract
This application provide a data flow processing method and a device. A host determines a priority corresponding to a first data flow to be sent to a switch, and adds the priority to the first data flow to generate a second data flow that includes the priority. The host sends the second data flow to the switch, so that the switch processes the second data flow according to the priority of the second data flow. A host assigns a priority to a data flow, and the switch does not need to determine whether the data flow is an elephant flow or a mouse flow, thereby saving hardware resources of the switch. The switch does not need to determine the priority of the data flow, thereby processing the data flow in a timely manner.
