Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a load sharing method and apparatus, and a board. The method includes: receiving, by a built-in forwarding unit, to-be-transmitted data; obtaining, by a management control unit, current load ratios of forwarding units; and if it is determined that a current load ratio of any forwarding unit of the forwarding units is less than a preset load ratio threshold, determining that the forwarding unit is a unit for forwarding the to-be-transmitted data, where the built-in forwarding unit and the management control unit are located in a same board, and the forwarding units include the built-in forwarding unit and another forwarding unit outside the board. The present invention can solve a problem of low data transmission reliability in an existing load sharing method.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a clock synchronization method in a multi-clock domain, a line card, and an Ethernet device. The method includes: acquiring, by a sending line card, M clock frequency differences that are determined by a receiving line card and that are of M uplink interfaces corresponding to M downlink interfaces on the sending line card, where the M uplink interfaces are uplink interfaces on the receiving line card, and M is a positive integer; and adjusting, by the sending line card by using each clock frequency difference of the M clock frequency differences of the M uplink interfaces and based on a correspondence between the M downlink interfaces and the M uplink interfaces, a transmit clock of an interface corresponding to the clock frequency difference.
