Abstract
Embodiments of this application disclose a packet sending method, a device, and a system, so that a specified network device does not use a backup forwarding path to forward a packet, thereby reducing, to some extent, a technical problem such as network resource waste or network congestion caused by a loop problem. The method includes: A first network device obtains a first packet destined for a destination device; the first network device adds a first indication identifier to the first packet to generate a second packet, where the first indication identifier is used to indicate a second network device to avoid using a backup forwarding path from the second network device to the destination device to send the second packet to the destination device; and the first network device sends the second packet to the second network device by using a first forwarding path.
