Abstract: This application discloses a packet processing method and a related apparatus, applied to a network slice. The method includes: A first network device obtains a first packet, where the first packet includes a first slice identifier, the first slice identifier includes a plurality of consecutive sub-identifiers, the plurality of sub-identifiers indicate different attributes of a first network slice, and the first slice identifier identifies the first network slice to which the first packet belongs. The first network device forwards the first packet based on the first slice identifier. In this solution, a slice identifier including a plurality of sub-identifiers is carried in a packet. Different sub-identifiers indicate different attributes of a network slice.
