Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a GTP-U downlink packet sending method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving, by a MEC platform, a GTP-U uplink packet sent by a base station device; obtaining, by the MEC platform, a TEID of the base station device according to the GTP-U uplink packet; and sending, by the MEC platform, a GTP-U downlink packet to the base station device, where the GTP-U downlink packet includes the TEID of the base station device. By using the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, after receiving the GTP-U uplink packet sent by the base station device, the MEC platform can obtain the TEID of the base station device according to the GTP-U uplink packet, and therefore, can correctly perform GTP-U encapsulation, and send the GTP-U downlink packet to the base station device.
