Abstract
A packet processing method includes a second device that sends a first packet to a first device, where the first packet includes a first segment routing header (SRH). After receiving the first packet, the first device determines whether the first packet includes a first segment identifier. When the first packet includes the first segment identifier, the first device deletes the first SRH, performs an encapsulation operation to generate a second packet, and forwards the second packet. That is, when a function or an indication corresponding to the first segment identifier is to perform the encapsulation operation, after receiving the first packet, the first device may delete the first SRH in the first packet based on an actual case, and perform the encapsulation operation to generate the second packet, where the second packet does not include the first SRH.
