Abstract
Communication methods, apparatuses, systems, and storage media are provided, to implement communication between a port and another port supporting both a flexible Ethernet protocol and a standard Ethernet protocol. In an example, a port of a first device supports a flexible Ethernet protocol and a standard Ethernet protocol, and a protocol type supported by a port of a second device includes the flexible Ethernet protocol and/or the standard Ethernet protocol. The first device obtains the protocol type supported by the port of the second device, determines a target protocol type based on the protocol type supported by the port of the second device and a protocol type supported by the port of the first device, and communicates with the second device based on the target protocol type. The target protocol type includes the flexible Ethernet protocol or the standard Ethernet protocol.
