    Abstract: Disclosed are a flow classifier, policy and charging rules function unit and controller. The flow classifier receives a service chain selection control policy sent by a policy and charging rules function unit. The service chain selection control policy includes a corresponding relation between an application type and an identifier of a service chain. The service chain is a path formed by a forwarding device and a value-added service device both of which a service flow with the application type needs to pass through. The flow classifier detects the service flow with the application type based on the service chain selection control policy and adds the identifier of the service chain to a message of the service flow. The flow classifier sends the message of the service flow with the added identifier of the service chain to a forwarding device directly connected to the flow classifier.

    Abstract: A method of implementing a service chain in a service chain-enabled domain network includes: receiving, by an intermediate service node (SN), an extended first Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) packet from a downstream SN that is on a service chain path and immediately adjacent to the intermediate SN, the extended first BGP packet including a service chain path identifier identifying the service chain path and a first service chain path including a service chain path from an ingress SN to the intermediate SN, determining an upstream SN that is on the first service chain path and immediately adjacent to the intermediate SN, and sending an extended second BGP packet to the upstream SN, the extended second BGP packet including the service chain path identifier and a second service chain path including a service chain path from the ingress SN to the upstream SN.

    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a system are provided for load balancing of a service chain. The method includes: receiving, by a flow classifier, a service chain selection and control policy sent by a policy and charging rules function PCRF unit; hashing, by the flow classifier according to a hash quantity, a service flow corresponding to a service chain identifier, to obtain multiple subflows, and adding the service chain identifier and hashing factors to packets of the subflows, where different subflows correspond to different hashing factors; and sending, by the flow classifier, the packets of the subflows after the service chain identifier and the hashing factors are added, to a forwarding device.

    Abstract: A method and a system for exercising policy control, a policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF) are provided, which can solve the problem that no policy control can be exercised over application service flows without an application function (AF). In the method, a PCRF receives information about an application event sent by a PCEF after subscribing the application event from the PCEF; and the PCRF generates a control policy for a service flow of the application according to the information about the application event. In the present invention, the PCEF sends the obtained information about the application event to the PCRF, so that even when no AF is involved, the PCRF can still generate a control policy according to policy contexts including the information about the application event and the like.

    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for forwarding a packet, where a first network virtualization edge (NVE) receives a first packet sent by a first tenant end system (TES), where a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address of the first packet is an IP address of a second TES, a destination media access control (MAC) address of the first packet is a gateway MAC address corresponding to the first NVE. The first NVE acquires an access virtual network identifier (VN ID) and a layer 3 virtual private network (VPN) instance identifier of the first TES, and searches a routing and forwarding table, to obtain an entry corresponding to the IP address of the second TES. Then the first NVE encapsulates the first packet into a network virtualization overlays (NVO3) packet according to the entry, and forwards the NVO3 packet to a second NVE to forward to the second TES.

    Abstract: A service processing method, a service processing system, and a PCRF entity are disclosed to overcome this defect in the prior art: The prior art is unable to handle services discriminatively according to the policy context information when different services require the same QoS level. The method includes: receiving bearer priority information from a PCRF entity, where the bearer priority information includes: bearer priority information of a service data stream, bearer priority information of an IP-CAN session, and/or bearer priority information of an IP-CAN bearer; and handling services according to the bearer priority information. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the policy context information is converted into bearer priority information so that the PCEF handles services according to the bearer priority information. In this way, different services that require the same QoS level are handled discriminatively according to the policy context information.
