The present invention discloses a method, routing bridge, and system for sending a packet, which are applied to the field of communications technologies, and are invented to reduce a signaling overhead of a TRILL network. The method includes: receiving, by a first transit RB, a Nickname Nickname of an edge RB sent by a second transit RB; constructing, by the first transit RB, an address advertisement message, where the address advertisement message includes a virtual IP address and a virtual MAC address of the first transit RB; and sending, by the first transit RB, the address advertisement message to the edge RB according to the Nickname of the edge RB, so that the edge RB sends, after receiving the address advertisement message, a free ARP packet to a server that accesses the TRILL network through the edge RB, where the free ARP packet includes a correspondence between the virtual MAC address and the virtual IP address. The present invention is mainly applied to a multi-gateway load balancing technology of a TRILL network. |
