This application provides a communication method, a network device, and a terminal. The communication method includes: obtaining, by a first network device, a first AMBR of a PDU session, where the first AMBR is an AMBR of a flow that is served by a second network device in the PDU session, the first network device is a master node serving a terminal, and the second network device is a secondary node serving the terminal; sending, by the first network device, first information to the second network device, where the first information includes the first AMBR, so that the second network device provides, based on the first AMBR, the PDU session service for the terminal. The communication method, the network device, and the terminal provided in this application help ensure a session-level aggregate maximum rate requirement in a dual connectivity scenario.
