This application discloses a network slicing method. The method includes obtaining metadata information of each of multiple traffic flows, determining a classification policy according to metadata information of the multiple traffic flows, determining a network slicing policy according to the classification policy, and the network slicing policy includes a mapping relationship between a traffic flow type and a network slice and a slice weight of the network slice, and determining a resource node policy according to the network slicing policy, where the resource node policy includes a mapping relationship between at least one resource node in the network and the at least one network slice and a resource weight of each resource node, and the resource weight of the resource node indicates a ratio of a resource of each of network slices corresponding to the resource node to a resource of the resource node.
