Abstract
A method for determining a processing capability includes: a first node sends a message to a second node. The message includes extension header processing capability information, and the extension header processing capability information is used to indicate a processing capability of the first node for an Internet Protocol (IP) version 6 (IPv6) extension header. After receiving the message, the second node obtains, based on the extension header processing capability information, the processing capability of the first node for the IPv6 extension header to determine whether the first node needs to forward or receive a packet.
