The invention discloses a method for determining data forwarding route and apparatuses. The method comprises: a first mobile access gateway (MAG) obtains information of other MAGs in an MAG group that the first MAG is located at; and it is determined that a next hop of a forwarding route of data forwarded to a mobile node (MN) accessing the other MAGs is an MAG accessed to the MN. According to the above-mentioned scheme provided in the embodiment of the invention, time delay of data forwarding is reduced and thus communication efficiency of the network is further improved.
