Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for creating a ring network label switched path. The method includes: receiving, by a first node, a first Path message used for creating a first label switched path from a second node; allocating a first label to the first label switched path; sending a first Resv message carrying the first label to the second node; and when the first node receives a second Path message and determines that a destination node of the second label switched path is the same as that of the first label switched path, allocating the first label to the second label switched path; and sending a second Resv message carrying the first label to the second node. Solutions of the embodiments of the present invention helps reduce the number of created ring network label switched paths and maintenance complexity.
