Abstract:
This application discloses a service packet forwarding method and related apparatus. In the service packet forwarding method, when receiving a packet sent by any second virtual resource module connected to a first service function forwarder (SFF), the first SFF dynamically determines a forwarding path of the packet based on configuration information of a second virtual resource module for implementing a second service function, to achieve dynamic load balancing on the packet instead of relying on a service function chain ingress node to perform load balancing, so as to reduce pressure on the service function chain ingress node.
