    摘要: This application provides a communication method and apparatus. The method may include receiving, by a second session management network element in a visited network, from a first session management network element in a home network, indication information, wherein the indication information indicates that traffic routing is allowed in the visited network. The method may further include sending, by the second session management network element and based on the indication information, IP address information of the visited network to a user plane network element in the visited network, wherein the IP address information is information used to determine an extension mechanisms for domain name system DNS client subnet option, or the IP address information is a local DNS server address.

    摘要: This application provides a method for controlling disorder of downlink data and an apparatus thereof. The method includes: A control plane network element determines to switch from a first user plane device to a second user plane device, and sends indication information to the second user plane device. The second user plane device buffers, according to the received indication information, downlink data received from a session anchor, and sends the buffered downlink data after reception of an end marker from the first user plane device.

    摘要: A communication method and apparatus. A session management function obtains at least one group of first association relationships, where the first association relationship is a correspondence between identification information of domain name system DNS handling information and the DNS handling information. The SMF sends, to an EASDF, the at least one group of first association relationships used for PDU sessions of a plurality of terminal devices, and sends, to the EASDF, a first message corresponding to a first PDU session, where the first information includes first identification information, and the first identification information is identification information of DNS handling information corresponding to the first PDU session. The EASDF receives the first association relationship and the first message, and determines, based on the first association relationship and the first identification information, the DNS handling information corresponding to the first PDU session.

    摘要: Embodiments of this application provide a media packet transmission method, an apparatus, and a system that relate to the field of communication technologies. In an example method, a transmit end network element obtains a correspondence between an encoding type and a quality of service (QoS) flow. The transmit end network element is a user plane network element or a terminal. The QoS flow is used to transmit a media packet whose encoding type is the encoding type corresponding to the QoS flow. The transmit end network element identifies an encoding type of a received media packet, and sends, based on the correspondence through a QoS flow corresponding to the encoding type of the media packet, the media packet carrying information associated with the encoding type to an access network element.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides example traffic routing methods, apparatuses, and systems. One example method includes determining, by a session management network element, a routing rule, where the routing rule indicates a first traffic steering entity to send a first traffic to a first function entity, or send a second traffic to a second function entity or an access device, where the first traffic is a traffic on which first traffic steering control is to be performed, and the second traffic is a traffic on which the first traffic steering control has been performed. The routing rule is sent by the session management network element to the first traffic steering entity in a session management process.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to user plane information reporting methods and apparatus. In one example method, a session management network element obtains parameter information, and initiates establishment of a dedicated tunnel between a first communications apparatus and a second communications apparatus, where the parameter information indicates the first communications apparatus to report user plane information when a reporting condition is met. The session management network element sends a first rule to the first communications apparatus, where the first rule indicates the first communications apparatus to send a packet to the second communications apparatus through the dedicated tunnel when the reporting condition is met.

    摘要: A session processing method includes determining, by a processor that a first application is not associated with a session parameter of a first session when starting the first application. The method also includes transmitting data of the first application through the first session in response to obtaining indication information. The indication information indicates that the session parameter of the first session can satisfy a session parameter requirement of the first application.
