Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a path determining method, apparatus, and system. In a hybrid network including one controller for implementing a control function, the controller may separately obtain network topology information of a first network and a second network of different network types by using a same control channel protocol. When the controller obtains a path determining requirement for the data transmission path, because the controller has the network topology information of the first network and the second network, during computation of the data transmission path, the controller can determine a path computation result including transmission path parts of the first network and the second network, without performing additional information exchange with another device, and send the path computation result to the first network device. In this way, planning efficiency of the data transmission path is improved.

Abstract: A packet forwarding method, a packet forwarding system, and a provider edge (PE) device. The method applied to an Ingress PE includes: determining, in an Ethernet virtual private network instance (EVI), that a state of the EVI on a first Egress PE is Active, where an Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) corresponding to the EVI includes a first customer edge (CE); determining that a state of the EVI on a second Egress PE is Inactive; skipping, forwarding a broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast (BUM) packet to the second Egress PE, where the BUM packet is from the first CE; and forwarding, the BUM packet to the first Egress PE. According to the application, repeated BUM traffic that is transmitted in a bearer network and is not finally sent to a remote site is reduced; therefore, a waste of bandwidth in the bearer network is reduced.

Abstract: An information synchronization method includes sending, by a controller, a first message to a network device, where the first message carries control routing protocol (CRP) routing entry information, and is used to advertise a CRP route, and the first message includes first identification information, and after receiving the first message, storing, by a forwarding device, the CRP routing entry information into a CRP routing table of the network device as indicated by the first identification information. Hence, because a route advertised by the controller and a route advertised using a routing protocol between forwarding devices are stored in different routing tables, a related application of the route advertised using the routing protocol between the forwarding devices is not affected.
