| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a data flow processing method and apparatus, which are used to resolve a problem that after a flow table of a switch in a service processing link is fully loaded, the switch cannot store a new flow entry or further process a new service, resulting in a waste of network resources. The method in embodiments of the present invention includes: determining a destination switch for service migration when a flow table capacity of a source switch is greater than a specified threshold; generating an equivalent flow entry that is equivalent to each initial flow entry of at least two initial flow entries stored in the source switch, and delivering each generated equivalent flow entry to the destination switch, where an equivalent flow entry that is equivalent to any initial flow entry is used by the destination switch to process a data packet that matches the any initial flow entry and that is forwarded by the source switch; and generating the aggregated flow entry by aggregating the at least two initial flow entries, and delivering the aggregated flow entry to the source switch. |
