Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method and device for forwarding packets in a network based on user groups. The method involves a network device receiving a packet from a user equipment, determining if the device has a user group corresponding to the user equipment, and based on the result, generating a packet with routing information and sending it to another network device. The routing information includes an interworking policy determined by the user group.


Original Abstract Submitted

A user group-based packet forwarding method and a device are provided. The method includes: a first network device receives a first service packet sent by first user equipment, where the first service packet includes information about the first user equipment; the first network device determines whether the first network device includes a first user group corresponding to the information about the first user equipment; and the first network device determines, based on a determining result, a value of first group information, generates a first segment routing over internet protocol version 6 (SRv6) packet, and sends the first SRv6 packet to a second network device, where the first SRv6 packet includes the first group information and the first service packet, and the first group information indicates an interworking policy that is determined based on the first user group.
