Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and apparatus, so that packets of different services can be sent, based on an SR technology, on a same path specified by an SR policy. This avoids a problem that a great limitation exists in an implementation of dual-stack reconstruction, and improves communication efficiency. In the method, after receiving a first packet, a first network device forwards the first packet to a second network device based on a path specified by an SR policy. A destination endpoint specified by the SR policy is the second network device. An identifier of the destination endpoint includes a first IP address of the second network device and a second IP address of the second network device.
