    Abstract: A method for obtaining a cross-domain link. The method includes: a control device sends a first message to a forwarding device in an internet protocol (IP) domain, where the first message is used to instruct the forwarding device to search for a device adjacent to the forwarding device in an optical domain; the control device receives a second message from an optical network element adjacent to the forwarding device in the optical domain, where the second message includes a first identifier identifying the optical network element, a second identifier identifying a port communicating with the forwarding device and being on the optical network element, and a media access control (MAC) address of the forwarding device; and obtains the cross-domain link between the forwarding device and the optical network element based on the first identifier, the second identifier, and the MAC address of the forwarding device.
