Abstract
Embodiments of this disclosure include a packet forwarding method and device, and a related system, and belong to the field of communication technologies. In the method, a first node first receives a route to a destination node sent by a second node, where the route carries an identifier of the second node and a plurality of tunnel attributes. A plurality of tunnels from the first node to the second are in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of tunnel attributes. The first node forwards packets with different packet attributes destined for a same destination node through different tunnels. By having the packets with the different packet attributes forwarded over the different tunnels, traffic steering is implemented at a routing layer, and a flexibility of performing the packet forwarding is improved.
