    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by an access gateway device, a fixed network packet included in a first fixed network session. The fixed network packet includes fixed network session characteristic information useable to identify the fixed network packet. The method further includes sending, by the access gateway device, the fixed network packet to a user plane function network element based on information of a first interface corresponding to the fixed network session characteristic information. The first interface is an interface between the access gateway device and the user plane function network element. The method further includes receiving, by the user plane function network element, the fixed network packet.

    Abstract: A communication method includes receiving, by a terminal device, first clock source information. The first clock source information corresponds to clock source information of a wireless communication system. The first clock source information indicates that a fifth generation (5G) system clock is useable as a clock source. The method further includes sending, by the terminal device, the first clock source information to an adjacent device.

    Abstract: This application provides a route configuration method and an apparatus, and relates to the field of communication technologies. The route configuration method includes: A session management network element obtains VLAN information of a first port, where the first port is a port, which corresponds to an established PDU session of a first terminal, on a first user plane network element, and the first user plane network element is a user plane network element that serves the first terminal. The session management network element generates first routing information and second routing information based on the VLAN information of the first port, and sends the first routing information and the second routing information to the first user plane network element.

    Abstract: A session management method and an apparatus, where the method includes: obtaining, by a session management function (SMF), a point-to-point protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) message from a user equipment; assigning a PPPoE session identifier and/or an Internet Protocol (IP) address to the user equipment; and sending, by the SMF, the assigned PPPoE session identifier and/or IP address to the user equipment, to establish a PPPoE connection between the user equipment and a network side device. The method is performed after a packet data unit (PDU) session is successfully established. The SMF sends the PPPoE session identifier and/or the IP address to the user equipment. In this case, the user equipment can store a correspondence between the established PDU session and a PPPoE session, such that the user equipment accesses a 5G core network (CN) through a fixed network.

    Abstract: A session management network element determines whether a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus have a redundancy functionality, receives a session establishment request message from a first terminal device, to request to establish a first session between the first terminal device and a data network. When both the first communication apparatus and the second communication apparatus have the redundancy functionality, and the first session is a redundant session, selects a first user plane function network element to establish the first session, where the second user plane function network element is configured to establish a second session, the first session is a redundant session of the second session, and the first session and the second session are for communication between the first communication apparatus and the second communication apparatus.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a session management method and an apparatus. The technology is specifically related to sending, by user equipment, a NAS message to an AGF, where the NAS message includes a PDU session establishment request message used to request to establish a PDU session, receiving, by the user equipment, a PDU session establishment accept message returned by a network side device, and establishing, by the user equipment, an access session with the AGF, where the access session is an access session related to the PDU session. The user equipment sends the NAS message to establish the PDU session, and establishes the access session with the AGF. Because the access session is related to the PDU session, the user equipment can map the PDU session to the access session, so that the user equipment accesses a 5G CN through a fixed network.
