Abstract
This application provides a load sharing method and apparatus, and a chip, which are applicable to a scenario of a complex combination and hybrid procedure. When sending a data packet, a transmit end adds different values to a first field of the data packet for different flow types of data flows, to indicate a forwarding device to use different load sharing rules. When hybrid traffic exists in complex networking, different load sharing rules are used for traffic of different flow types. Compared with configuring the forwarding device to use a fixed load sharing rule for all traffic, a better load sharing effect can be achieved.
