PACKET FORWARDING METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18446735 titled 'PACKET FORWARDING METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

- This patent application describes an application that provides a method, apparatus, and system for packet forwarding in communication technologies. - The application proposes a scheme where a packet contains both a destination address and a behavior instruction. - At least two nodes in the packet forwarding system can identify the behavior instruction in the packet and forward the packet based on the indicated forwarding behavior. - This eliminates the need to allocate a separate SID (Segment Identifier) to each node in the packet forwarding system. - Instead, only the behavior instruction needs to be carried in the packet, simplifying the forwarding process. - This innovation allows multiple nodes to perform forwarding behaviors on a packet without the need for individual identification.


Original Abstract Submitted

This application provides a packet forwarding method, apparatus, and system, and belongs to the field of communication technologies. In a scheme provided in this application, a packet includes both a destination address and a behavior instruction, and at least two nodes in a packet forwarding system may identify the behavior instruction in the packet, and may forward the packet based on a first forwarding behavior indicated by the behavior instruction. Therefore, when a plurality of nodes in the packet forwarding system each need to perform a forwarding behavior on the packet, an SID does not need to be allocated to each node, but only the behavior instruction needs to be carried in the packet.
