Abstract
A configuration method and apparatus which resolves a problem that a forwarding delay of a traffic flow or packet is relatively long. The configuration method includes: a mobile edge ME platform manager determining a network forwarding path NFP from an instantiated first MEC application to a first destination application, where the NFP is used to indicate a forwarding path of a traffic flow or packet that is sent by the first MEC application to the first destination application; the ME platform manager sending an NFP creation request to a virtualized infrastructure manager VIM, to request the VIM to create the NFP determined by the ME platform manager; and the ME platform manager associating the NFP created by the VIM with a first traffic flow rule configured for the first MEC application.
