The present disclosure discloses example communication apparatuses. One example communication apparatus includes sending request information from a first network device to a second network device, where the request information includes an identifier of a network slice, configuration information of a data radio bearer corresponding to the identifier of the network slice, and first general packet radio service tunneling protocol-user plane (GTP-U) tunnel address information corresponding to the identifier of the network slice. Feedback information is received by the first network device and from the second network device, where the feedback information includes second GTP-U tunnel address information corresponding to the identifier of the network slice. The first GTP-U tunnel address information and the second GTP-U tunnel address information identify a user plane tunnel that corresponds to the identifier of the network slice and that is between the first network device and the second network device.
