Abstract
According to a load sharing method and a network device, traffic distribution ratios are correspondingly preset for different paths. For example, an equivalent resistance method is used as a load sharing algorithm provided in embodiments of this application, to calculate a corresponding traffic distribution ratio for each possible path. The traffic distribution ratio and the corresponding path are preset for a corresponding node. In this way, traffic entering a network device is distributed to each path in the network device based on the preset ratio, without causing excessive bandwidth pressure on a shortest path, to implement relatively optimal load balancing. For the network device with either a ring network structure or a stereoscopic network structure, a requirement for a link bandwidth between the nodes in the network device can be reduced.
