Embodiments of the present invention provide a scheduling method, including: receiving, by a controller, scheduling request information sent by a content source, where the scheduling request information includes a constraint condition of non-real-time traffic transmission, and the constraint condition includes: information about a first address and information about a second address, where the information about the first address is information about an address of a device that sends traffic, and the information about the second address is information about an address of a device that receives the traffic; determining, by the controller according to the information about the first address, the information about the second address, and statistical information about network traffic, a first forwarding path and a sending time for sending the traffic; and sending, by the controller, a first message that includes a sending rate to the content source at the sending time, where the first message is used to instruct the content source to send the traffic according to the sending rate, and the traffic is sent through the first forwarding path. The embodiments of the present invention further provide a scheduling apparatus and system. By using the present invention, pre-scheduling may be performed on non-real-time traffic transmission with reference to information about network traffic, thereby reducing traffic pressure of an entire network. |
