Abstract: This application discloses a method for forwarding a packet in a data center network. A first device obtains an original packet, and adds a first source label to the original packet to obtain a first packet. The first source label includes a forwarding type, an indication field, and an interface sequence. The forwarding type indicates that the first packet supports source label forwarding, the interface sequence indicates a first source label forwarding path of the original packet, and the indication field indicates information that is about an outbound interface and that should be read from the interface sequence. The first device sends the first packet to a next-hop switch through the outbound interface corresponding to the first source label forwarding path. The next-hop switch receives the first packet, and forwards the first packet based on the first source label.

Abstract: This application discloses a congestion control method and related apparatus. In the congestion control method, a network device first obtains statistical information of a target egress queue within a first time period, where the target egress queue is any target egress queue in the network device. The network device determines an explicit congestion notification (ECN) threshold for the target egress queue within a second time period based on the statistical information of the target egress queue within the first time period, where the second time period is chronologically subsequent to the first time period. When a queue depth of the target egress queue exceeds the ECN threshold within the second time period, the network device sets an ECN mark for a data packet in the target egress queue.
