Traffic adjustment method and apparatus

摘要

A traffic adjustment method and an apparatus, which relate to the communications field, so that statistics on traffic of a receiving apparatus that needs to receive a first multicast packet can be accurately collected in a process of multicast packet transmission. A specific solution is as follows: A sending apparatus sends a first multicast packet, and determines whether an identity of a first receiving apparatus is in a receiving list of a first group, and if the identity of the first receiving apparatus is in the receiving list of the first group, the sending apparatus acquires multicast traffic of the first receiving apparatus, and subtracts the multicast traffic of the first receiving apparatus from preset traffic allocated to the first receiving apparatus to obtain corrected traffic of the first receiving apparatus.

1. A traffic adjustment method comprising:
sending a first multicast packet, wherein the first multicast packet is a packet that needs to be received by all receivers in a first group, and wherein the first group comprises at least two receivers; determining whether an identity of a first receiver is in a receiving list of the first group, wherein the receiving list of the first group is a list of identities of all the receivers in the first group; receiving traffic information sent by the first receiver; acquiring multicast traffic of the first receiver according to the traffic information when the identity of the first receiver is in the receiving list of the first group, wherein the multicast traffic of the first receiver is traffic used by the first receiver for receiving the first multicast packet and the traffic information is used to indicate the multicast traffic of the first receiver; and subtracting the multicast traffic of the first receiver from preset traffic allocated to the first receiver to obtain corrected traffic of the first receiver, wherein the corrected traffic is remaining traffic that is not used by the receiver.
