Abstract
This application discloses a forwarding entry generation method, a packet sending method, a network device, and a system, so that a specified network device cannot use a backup forwarding path to forward a packet, thereby reducing, to some extent, a technical problem such as network resource waste or network congestion caused by a loop problem. The method includes: A first network device obtains routing information advertised by a second network device; and the first network device determines that the routing information advertised by the second network device matches a summary route stored in the first network device, and generates, based on a segment identifier of the second network device, a forwarding entry corresponding to the summary route. The forwarding entry includes the segment identifier of the second network device, and a forwarding path corresponding to the forwarding entry passes through the second network device.
