Original Abstract Submitted
this application discloses a network slice information transmission method and apparatus. for example, a controller performs slice division on a network based on a service requirement and then obtains slice information, and sends the slice information to a first network device in the network by using a path computation element protocol (pcep) packet, which includes first slice information corresponding to the first network device. after receiving the pcep packet, the first network device parses the pcep packet to obtain the first slice information, and further performs network slice configuration based on the first slice information. that is, in this application, the controller delivers the slice information by using the pcep packet, so that after obtaining the pcep packet, the first network device can obtain the first slice information corresponding to the first network device in a timely manner and perform network slice configuration without waiting for a configuration command.
