LOAD SHARING METHOD AND RELATED APPARATUS

摘要

This application discloses a load method, used to implement load balancing in a network. The method according to embodiments of this application includes: obtaining, by a first PE device, a first device identifier of the first PE device, and obtaining an ESI that is of a target NVE device and is corresponding to the first device identifier and a VN ID that is of a target VN accessed by the target NVE device and is corresponding to the first device identifier; receiving, by the first PE device, a message from a second PE device, where the message carries a second device identifier of the second PE device, and the target ESI and the VN ID of the target VN that are corresponding to the second device identifier; and determining, by the first PE device according to the first device identifier, the second device identifier, the target ESI, and the VN ID of the target VN, whether the first PE device is a DF of the target NVE device in the target VN. The embodiments of this application further provide a related load balancing apparatus.
