MESSAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND GATEWAY

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a message processing method and a gateway. The gateway of the present invention runs on a cloud platform and includes: a control plane module configured to implement a control plane function of the gateway and at least one user plane module configured to implement a user plane function of the gateway, where the control plane module is connected to the at least one user plane module by using an interface; the control plane module is configured to generate a service control rule, and deliver the service control rule to the user plane module, where the service control rule is used to indicate a data operation that needs to be executed by the user plane module of the gateway; and the user plane module is configured to forward or process data according to the received service control rule. The embodiments of the present invention resolve a problem that an existing gateway has poor scalability and low communication efficiency because multiple functions of the existing gateway are tightly coupled together and restrict each other.
