A method and an apparatus for managing resources of a network slice are disclosed. In the method, resources are allocated more properly by using a feature that peaks and valleys of load of network slices overlap, so that resources can be coordinated from another network slice whose independent decision result is scale-in or is keeping a quantity of instances unchanged to a network slice whose independent decision result is scale-out, or resources can be coordinated from another network slice whose independent decision result is scale-in to a network slice whose independent decision result is keeping a quantity of instances unchanged, and therefore a network slice whose capacity needs to be increased does not need to request new resources from an infrastructure, thereby improving resource utilization of the infrastructure and reducing resource procurement costs of a slice tenant.

A packet tunneling method, a switching device, and a control device are provided. The method includes: receiving, by the switching device, a tunnel flow table entry delivered by the control device, where the tunnel flow table entry is used to determine a to-be-tunneled packet and indicate a tunneling operation to be performed on the to-be-tunneled packet; determining, by the switching device according to the tunnel flow table entry, whether the received first packet is the to-be-tunneled packet; and when the first packet is the to-be-tunneled packet, tunneling, by the switching device, the first packet according to the tunnel flow table entry. According to the embodiments of the present invention, because the switching device supports a tunnel flow table, when a packet is transmitted in a mobile packet network by using the OpenFlow protocol, tunnel encapsulation or decapsulation can be performed on the packet by using the tunnel flow table entry delivered by the control device, thereby enhancing a packet processing capability in the mobile packet network.

The present invention discloses an OpenFlow communication method, a controller, a virtual switch, and a service gateway. An action that needs to be transferred and is sent by the service gateway is received; one appropriate virtual switch is selected according to the action that needs to be transferred and a network topology structure; a flow table is delivered to the service gateway and the virtual switch, and a first data channel is established between the service gateway and the virtual switch to forward a packet; a flow table including an extended action is delivered to the virtual switch so as to execute a related extended action on the packet; the packet obtained after the virtual switch executes the related extended action is sent to a destination server. According to the foregoing disclosed content, in the present invention, when a processing capability of a service gateway is insufficient, some of data processing services are transferred from the service gateway to a virtual server for execution, which can implement load balance among network elements in a system, improve utilization and a throughput of the system, and further enhance performance of the entire system.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a radio resource optimizing method, apparatus, and system. The method includes: performing deep packet inspection on received network data, so as to identify a protocol type of the network data; when it is determined, according to the protocol type, that the network data is a first kind of data stream, identifying a heartbeat in the first kind of data stream, and obtaining heartbeat information of the heartbeat, where the heartbeat information includes a heartbeat interval period and a heartbeat bandwidth requirement; when the heartbeat interval period is greater than a radio resource pre-allocated time slice, determining a radio resource bandwidth allocation parameter according to the heartbeat bandwidth requirement; and sending a radio resource allocation parameter including the radio resource bandwidth allocation parameter. In this way, in the embodiments of the present invention, the radio resource allocation parameter is dynamically set when an application runs in the background, thereby improving the utilization rate of an air interface bandwidth and time of a radio base station when the application runs in the background, and avoiding a waste of radio resources.
