Data stream security processing method and apparatus

摘要

A data stream security processing method and apparatus are disclosed. The data stream security processing method of the present invention includes: acquiring feature information of a data stream (101), where the feature information includes source information and destination information of the data stream; determining a security level of the data stream (102) according to the feature information; determining (103), according to the security level, a forwarding path for transmitting the data stream; and delivering (104) information used for indicating the forwarding path to devices in the forwarding path. A forwarding path is determined according to the security level, where a forwarding path may go through a security device to implement a corresponding security function of the forwarding path, thereby improving data stream forwarding security. The method and apparatus may be used in a software defined network, SDN, for example using OpenFlow.
