Abstract
A route configuration method includes that after a first terminal moves out of a service scope of a user plane function (UPF) that currently provides a service for the first terminal, a first session management function (SMF) inserts a first intermediate UPF (I-UPF) into a user plane path of the first terminal, and configures, for the first I-UPF, a first routing rule corresponding to a second terminal. The first routing rule is used to send a packet whose destination address information is address information of the second terminal to a second anchor UPF (A-UPF). Therefore, a packet with a destination address information that is the address information of the second terminal can be directly forwarded by the first I-UPF to the first A-UPF, instead of being forwarded by the first I-UPF to the second A-UPF through the first A-UPF.
