    摘要: This application provides a packet processing method and a gateway device. The method includes: A first gateway device receives, by using a first link, a first one-arm BFD echo packet returned by a network device, where the first one-arm BFD echo packet includes identification information, and the identification information is used to uniquely identify a second gateway device. The first gateway device determines, based on the identification information, to forward the first one-arm BFD echo packet to the second gateway device. The first gateway device sends the first one-arm BFD echo packet to the second gateway device. The network device is multi-homed connected to the first gateway device and the second gateway device. The network device is connected to the first gateway device by using the first link, and the network device is connected to the second gateway device by using a second link. The first gateway device and the second gateway device form a multi-active gateway. According to the method provided in this application, efficiency of detecting, by using a one-arm BFD echo session, whether the network device is normal in a VXLAN multi-active gateway scenario is improved.
