Abstract
A first network device obtains first information. The first information indicates that a first link is faulty, and the first link is a link between any two network devices in a network system to which the first network device belongs. The first network device sends the first information to a second network device by using BGP, for example, sends a link fault message to the second network device by using BGP. The link fault message carries the first information. The second network device is a neighbor device of the first network device. The first network device determines an unreachable route in a routing table of the first network device based on the first information and a topology of the network system. A path corresponding to the unreachable route includes the first link. The first network device marks the unreachable route as invalid.
