A communication method and apparatus are provided that relate to the communications field. The method includes receiving, by a user plane network element from a control plane network element, information indicating a first policy for maintaining, when the user plane is disconnected from the control plane, continuity of a service of the user plane; and running, by the user plane network element, the service according to the first policy. In this way, the user plane network element may, when the user plane is disconnected from the control plane, maintain the continuity of the service of the user plane network element, to avoid service disconnection and meet an application scenario having a high requirement on service continuity.
